Hi, unprotected sex at any time of the cycle whether during menstruation or otherwise has equal chances of spread of STDs and HIV. There is no particular predisposition during menstruation alone. People usually avoid sex during menstruation as it is messy and maybe painful. You should however visit your gynaec and get investigated for your irregular and scanty periods.
