what my risks

A few days ago I had a sexual act with a street prostitute
the act included vaginal sex with a condom (without cumming in it) and then I took off the condom masturbated to completion
my concern is that I have a herpes sore (no bleeding, the wound looks pink) on my penis and the fear that when I took off my condom my hands touched the girl's vaginal fluids, and then came into contact during masturbation with the  herpes like wound on my pennis
Is there a risk of contracting vaginal fluids extent that the condom with my hands came into contact with that herpes wound?
Does herpes sore is like bleeding wound that the virus can enter the bloodstream?
what my risks?
thanks

i searched the net and i found the answer to the Herpes sore risks question:

http://www.emaxhealth.com/1020/53/32605/even-healed-genital-herpes-increases-hiv-risk.html

in summery:
"Scientists now understand an important factor about how HIV is transmitted. A new study shows that individuals with healed genital herpes sores are at higher risk of contracting the HIV virus. The findings show that even when genital herpes has been treated, and the lesions have disappeared, risk of HIV is still higher for individuals with genital herpes"

so why my risk is zero?
sorry for all the questions...
