Exposure to HIV??

Hi

I had sex with csw some hours ago. I used a condom when having sex and am confident that there was no rupture in condom.

However there was a small cut at the end of my penis which was not covered by the condom , however I had put on a band aid on the same.
After the sex I noticed that the band aid plaster had come off and the ladys vagina had touched the wound. What are the risks of HIV and do I need to undergo HIV test

Thanks
ShoNik

I have read in certain sites that HIV enters body easily through open wounds or cuts and if the infected vagina touches the would, the chances are high of contacting HIV.
Are you sure I do not need a second reference. It has made me very tensed, and I will never repeat this mistake in my life.

No qualified doctor would give you nPEP. You never had a risk. Now move along.

Thanks for the assuring reply guys. I was getting very worried.

I am thinking of the option of PEP, since its been just hours since exposure.
Do you think I should peruse it?

You were never at risk of contracting HIV and have no reason to test.
