HIV infection through abrasion

Hi, I am hetrosexual Male 38 , never on drugs and in a monogamous relation,
Last week while on a trip to SE Asia I went for a massage followed by handjob, due to lack of erection the girl was extremely rough on me and after the ejaculation I noticed redness on the shaft of my penis, and later in the evening it started turning black and blue and after 2-3 days it looked like an abrasion and size would be 1 *1 Inch , with skin peeling off and little blood. I used neosporin and the wound looked ok. I know I should have taken it easy from here,but after 2 days like a fool I went ahead and had sex with two girls at the same time, though i used seperate condoms on both of them and it was completely protected sexual act. In the heat of the moment I forgot about my abraded penis and continued have protected sex , the condom covered my abraded penis completely but I feel during sex the vaginal fluid would have seeped into the condom and would have made contact with the abrased penis as the condom was quite wet from inside.
My question is
* Can vaginal fluid seep into the condom from the base and make contact with my abraded patch on my penis.
* Can Vaginal fluid on the condom touch the abrasion while changing condom and exposing to any risk (since condom was changed multiple times).

* What was my risk in this situation
I am quite worried and regret the impatience shown by me,

Please guide me as to what I should do next, I have not spoken about this to anyone yet.

Many Thanks,
Xtremely Worried

In your case, the reliability is 100%, since you never had a risk (your test confirmed that).

Thanks Teak, this is reassuring, was not looking for a changed answer, its just that the mind plays dangerous games when one is in doubt, so was reasoning out, its difficult situation for me, as I have been avoiding intimacy with my partner as I dont wanna infect her, if at all I am infected.

Just not able to sleep, My abrasion is still not healed, everytime I look at it it reminds me of HIV risk, just to ease my mind I wanted to know, when everyone says that there are chances of HIV infection through abrasion, so just wondering why you think my abrased penis shaft (almost 1 by 1 inch abrased)  wont be a risk due to mu activity.
thanks

Thanks Joggen, I did take care, but was really worried about the abrasion on the shaft and the wild nature of the sexual activity, various thoughts run through the mind.
Thanks once again

The condoms protected you--abrasions or no abrasions.You never had a risk & you need to forget all about this.

NO, NO, NO, you had protected sex. Protected sex isn't as complicated as you are making it out to be: head of penis covered = no risk for infection with HIV. It really is that simple. Instead of posting on an HIV forum, you should be popping champaign, because you had safe sex.

There will probably be 50000 HIV infections in the US this year, and all the sexually-related infections will be the result of unprotected vaginal and anal sex. You should be celebrating that you will not be one of them.
