hiv through pimple on penis

Hi,I have just had sex with a prostitute for about a week ago, I used condom but I'm still afraid of the risk concerning hiv. The reason why i'm afraid is because I had an open white head pimple about 1 cm up from the root of penis and I dont think the condom covered the place where I had the open pimple which is the reason of why I'm very concerned now.if by chance that girl had hiv, is it possible to get hiv like this through woman fluid coming to white headed hurting pimple ? and what is the chance? I will also mention that I have never had any STD from before, and this is the second time that I've ever had sex with one of those type of girl(and probably the last).I am very anxious.. Thanks in advance for help

Dear teak;
Are you saying;in layman's terms; that I am not at risk for Hiv due to condom slippage of 2cm and also due to vagina fluid contact with my pimple on my penis?
Thanks

HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions; therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.

HIV is transmitted by;
Unprotected penetrative anal and/or vaginal sex
Sharing works with other IV drug users
Mother to child

Dear Teak,

Thank your very much for your reply and help...

As English is not my native language and as I want to ensure that we are on the same page, I would like to ask some further questions on this..

1) You are mentioning that ''HIV is not transmitted via pimples''. Are you saying that even the vagina fluid touches the pimple on the penis, HIV is not transmitted via the pimple?

2) Does it matter if the pimple is popped or not?

3) Does it matter if the pimple was having white head and painful(stage before pop out) ?

4) Or are you saying that HIV is not ransmitted via any kind of pimples regardless of white fluid inside the pimple, painful,popped or not popped...?

In addition to that, this pimple was about 1 cm down from the root and my condom has slipped 1-2cm that is why the pimple has tocuhed the vagina fluid during the intercourse...It come off (slipped) only 1-2 cm and the rest of my penis was covered with condom all the time during sex...Should I be worries that it came off 1-2 cm...As far as I read, as long as the top of the penis is covered, the risk is not there

5) Do you think I am at high risk and should perform HIV test? I mean not just for peace of mind , but because I am at risk?


Tanks in advance for your reply
