HIV open cut transmission

HIV open cut transmission

If a male had protected (with condom) sex (vaginal intercourse).  There is no blood in the act of sex, but maybe some vaginal juice.  He has an open cut on his foot and after sex (about 5 to 10 minutes after) he takes a shower. The cut is bandaged with waterproof bandaging but he realized the bandage rubbed loose on a few places.  What are the chances of HIV to be transmitted in such a manner where it runs off with the shower water down the leg and into the cut on the foot?

HIV is not transmitted outside the host. You were never at risk.
