HIV transmission via pubic hair.

Last night I had an encounter with a sex worker. We went back to her place and had protected vaginal sex. The condom did stay intact. My worry is that she had shaved about 1 or 2 weeks prior and had very sharp pubic hairs. They were poking my scrotum throughout the encounter. Is it possible to get infected if her pubic hair had vaginal fluids which was then injected with her pubic hair into my scrotum? After the encounter I did check my scrotum for any open founds but I could not find any. This could be due to the fact that her pubic hairs were very sharp and would have made a very small opening which could be hard to see. I did not see any blood though.

Hair is not injecting you. You did not have a risk.
