minor cuts from trimming on testicles

I had a safe sex (with condom) three hours after trimming my pubic area when I had minor cuts on my testicle area.  What is the risk of HIV? I am worried that I did stupid trimming before sex. 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

Thanks for your response. cuts were 1-3 mm and I took shower before the sex. Even if she was on top and possible some fluid came down to my testicles (although I did not see any)? Sorry for asking the almost same question again. I am just worried.
