HIV Risk from shaving Penis Shaft

I went to istanbul for tourisim 2 month ago, one day I was so drunk and I made the bad choice of ordering a female escort. My problem is that I shaved my pubic region and penis shaft about 2-3 hours before the act. The sex was completely protected, however what I am afriad of, is the fact that i had sex with the escort four times during that night (each time with a new condom) and the condoms used might not have covered any microscopic/unnoticed nicks caused by the shaving (I am sure that parts of my uncovered penis shaft was inside her vagina).

P.S. I remember that I had  2-3 tiny blood drops getting out of my pubic region during shaving, the droplets were the size of a pin head, when I used a tissue to wipe it off, there was no visible blood remaining on my pubic area (I had a shower after that and there was no visible blood too).

My questions are as follows:

1-Will shaving the penis shaft 3 hours before exposure create a possible transmission route for HIV (escpecially when it is not completely covered by the condom, as the shaft of the penis is weaker than the other parts of the human skin).

2-What is my risk from the above mentioned scenario (taking into consideration that I had sex 4 times with her that night) ?

3-do I need to test for this specfic exposure or can I move on ?

4-Finally, do you advice against pubic shaving before sexual encounters, as this might increase potential risk ?

Guys I really trust your advice and I was reading some of the posts the Teak and Lizzie answered, however, I didn't find any exposure that summarized if the shaved shaft was inside the vagina and the risk from this exposure.

Thank you so much for your for help,
Alan

Sorry to disturb you but to make it clear why I am asking again is because there is one doctor who told me that shaving irritates skin and since the shaft is inside the vagina, the HIV virus can have easy access to the irritated skin
To be Frank, I trust your advise more than him since That was a general doctor and not an expert on HIV
So please tell me if he is right or wrong and I am really sorry to disturb you again !
Thanks

So a shave creates no possible route for hiv even if the shaved part of the penis (condom reached less than half of the penis) was not covered by a condom and is inside the vagina ?
