Thank you for query.The menstrual blood can be infective if the person is HIV+. If the blood has touched a closed wound or pimple there are least chance of transmission.but open wound there are chances of transmission.As you have taken post exposure prophylaxis (best if taken within 3 days of exposure) hope for the best.Continue it for at least a month .You can go for tests later depending on the tests available .You can get back to me for any clarifications with the details.Dr Bharatesh D Basti Dermatologist and Venereologist
