Risk?

I had protected sex with a sex worker. The condom worked fine however I noticed a small open cut at the very end of my penis shaft nearest my balls that was potentially uncovered by the condom. I really didnt notice until later that night and did not have a chance to see if this pinhole sized cut was covered or not and whether or not that part of my penis was even in her vagina as I dont recall going that deep. I asked her after the encounter if she had anything and she said no though i dont think that means much. First and last time with a sex worker.

Am I at risk for HIV and should I be tested at 3 months?

Thanks

Thank you for your comments. I have only had 1 other partner my whole life barring this sex worker. Is it worthwhile to have an HIV test?

To elaborate, I have an open cut potentially uncovered by the condom.

As long as your penis head was covered, you are fine.

Yes I understand, but does the cut make it a risk?

Protected sex is not a risk for infection
