Chances of HIV infection due to folliculitis on pubic

I had sex with a sex worker using  condom but I forgot that I has folliculitis (red bumps only on my pubic area nothing on the penis or scrotum).
My question is what are the chances of HIV transmission ? can the vaginal fluid that drop into the red bumps trasmit HIV ?

HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions; therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.
