What Is The Risk Of Contracting HIV While Replacing Used Condom?

Hi,

Two weeks before I had anal sex with a guy twice both with condom. (I am active) During the las intercourse, I saw a little blood on the condom. So I changed for another one. What if I touched the condom from outside with little blood and inmediately my penis either foreskin, tip or trunk while replacing the condom.

What is the risk if the person has HIV?
