I received an unprotected blow job from a massage center due to anxiety. I took an RNA PCR HIV test after 10 days and it was negative. I am worried about HIV infection. How likely is it that I could have been infected through saliva to mucous membrane transmission?

I had sex about a week ago, and it went in really deep one time, causing a little bleeding after. Now, every time I have sex, I bleed. Could I have a vaginal tear? If so, would a family doctor be able to stitch it, or would I need to go to an OBGYN?

I've been using Yasmin birth control pills for around 4 years, but consistently for the past year. Recently, I've been experiencing breakthrough bleeding for the last three days, which stops and then continues. I take all the pills in the pack, which contains 21 pills, and I normally stop for a week before starting a new pack. Is this breakthrough bleeding normal, and should I visit an OBGYN or continue monitoring my situation?

I have been experiencing spotting between periods, which occurs mainly during exercise. I do not use contraceptives and this is the first time I have experienced this.

What could be causing this and what steps should I take?
