pubic pimple and cuts for hiv transmission

I recently had sex with a sexworker(unknown status, but i assume she was positive) and am worried about possible infection. my encounter was with a condom all the way, my fears are 1) can i get hiv from contact with her vagainal fluids if they were to touch the lower end of my penis where the condom does not cover? can u have cuts tha are klarge enough to transmit hiv outside the body and not know about?

2) I had a pimple on my pubic region above my penis, which was dried out about two days prior to my encounter, if vagainal fluids were to come in contact with the pimple would that be a risky situation for infection to take place?
i would appreciate substantiated answers. my pimple only burst two days after the encounter.


i had a pimple which i am not sure if it was open or not during intercourse, visually it looked sealed, but am afraid of the possibility. if it was open but not bleeding would this be a risk? there was no blood that’s for sure. am worried freaking out... . .

Yes if u use a condom and it does not break you are fine.

A person can't get infected from cuts and sores.

so you are saying as long as i had a condom then all is well?  when can a person be infected via a cut or sore (if you can give an example) what types or kinds of cut facilitates the transmission of HIV?
are you saying no one has ever been infected as long as a condom was used nad did not break or slip off, no one ever?

You need more clarity because you are reading garbage. HIV becomes inactive when it is exposed to things like air, temp changes, pressure so thus doing so is unable to infect. So outside of the body it can not infect.

I read what you wrote and you had protected sex...penis head covered. No risk.

even if the person I was sleeping with was HIV positive? and I had her fluids on my pubic area? is there no other way that I may be infected other than through my penis during vagainal sex?

Protected sex is not a risk. All of your concerns are not a risk for HIV.
