HIV risk

Would I be at risk if I trimmed and had sex around 2 hours later with a condom, I ejaculated in the condom, I got oral with the condom on I am just worried in case when I was getting massage on the genital area and I may have a small cut or when we’re having sex their vaginal fluids may have been caught where I shaved,
I have seen online symptoms are headaches and muscles and joint pains which are the symptoms I have had but the headache was mild and it’s a headache I normally get so nothing new  as well as other Iv had a very mild headache and the body aches has been under my chin on the left side near the shoulder again this was mild only hurt slight when I stretched big

Nothing you mention is a risk for HIV so rest easy.  HIV is spread in really specific ways. These include having unprotected vaginal or anal sex or sharing IV needles to inject drugs.  As long as the head of your penis was covered, you are not at risk for HIV so fluid or touching in the area of your genitals will not transmit the virus. In fact, air and saliva inactivate it.  So, there is nothing at all for you to worry about with regards to HIV transmission.  You won't get it from what you describe. No reason to test. no risk

If I had an open wound/cut if there was one it would be small was it the risk there, would it heal quick
enough as it was small to stop any transmission from that area
Your question was answered that even with a cut, it is NOT a risk for HIV.  AIR inactivates it.  That answer will not change on this moderated forum that is guided by experts in HIV. You had no risk at all. You do not describe a small risk, you describe NO risk.
