hi
i understand your concern, blood in semen is not normal. It such cases the probability of a cancer prostate should be ruled out. When negative other conditions such as vesiculitis which is inflammation of the seminal vesicles(the part of the testes which produce most of the fluid of your ejaculate) can cause blood in semen.
other conditions such as any abnormalities in bleeding or any anticoagulant may cause a similar picture.An S.T.D screen could be taken to be on the safe side.Hypertension rarely causes such a complaint. you could discuss on ruling out the above causes with your physician, if no cause is found.

a ultrasound of the bladder is beneficial to see if there is any early growth that is causing your symptoms.

thank you
wish you a speedy recovery..!
