possible hiv infection?

recently, i had protected vaginal and oral sex with a US based CSW.

two days prior, I used an electric razor to shave my scrotum and penis shaft, and got 2 nicks.

two days later, they appeared red, but closed.  one was on the shaft, an area covered by the condom when I had protected vaginal sex.  the other, on the base of the scrotum, not within reach of the vagina.

as long as the condom is used properly and does not break and the red nick area was covered by the condom, there is no chance of hiv transmission, correct?  but what if the condom slipped during vaginal sex and the sore was exposed briefly?  would that pose a risk?

do you think i have risk here?  she did tell me she had been recently tested for all STDs by planned parenthood and was clear, but...

thanks!
