Should I worry about a shaving bump not covered by Condom?

I went to a sex worker today and had sex with her. I wore a condom, but the condom did not cover the base of my shaft. I think I had hair follicle infection or hair pull which is why there was a reddish bump. I am not sure if the condom covered that bump or partly covered it.

Do you think if vaginal fluids came in contact with it there is any risk? I came home and shaved a little and clicked photos but it does not look like broken skin and when I touch it, it does not burn or pain. So it's not broken skin. I have attached a photo with this email. Please help me and advice me. Do I need to worry?

I asked the sex worker. She said she is clean and gets tested regularly. I also asked her if she would have sex with me without a condom next week. She said she would only if I have blood test and show her reports that I am clean and don't have any STD or HIV. I am clean and don't have any STD or HIV. I had tested two months back. I asked her if she would have sex with me without condom to check if she is clean. So the way she told me to get tested and show her a report makes me believe that she is clean and has no diseases.

The Bump was not bleeding, after sex, only after washing with water and soap it looked a bit reddish and a bit sore, but no blood, also came home and took some pics of the skin area, I dont think it looks like a broken skin.  Please let me know what do you think?

NO RISK.  A wound would have to be open and bleeding - a small cut or scrape doesn't matter.  It would need to be a wound that required medical attention, like stitches.  NO ONE gets HIV this way.  You had zero risk.

I never look at photos or symptoms because they are ALWAYS irrelevant which you would discover if you read my advice.

HIV can only be transmitted into certain body parts and in your case only the head of your penis needs to be covered. You had zero risk, and it doesn't matter if the follicle was bleeding.

HIV is instantly inactivated in air so outside the vagina it is a waste of time trying to soap disinfect yourself because the virus can't infect.
You can check the std forum for info on that though, since a condom doesn't protect against all std.
