Kinda nervous

About a week ago, I had sex with a lady I met. I used a condom the whole time. While we were having sex, however, I think I got real deep and caused her to bleed from her vagina A LOT. To be clear, it wasn't a couple of drops, it was a lot of fresh blood that covered me. I didn't notice it right away, but when I finally did...there was lots of fresh blood covering the area above my penis and also over my scrotum.

I went in to the restroom and quickly and washed it all off. My concern is that earlier that evening, I used a facial hair buzzer on my penis and scrotum area. While doing so, I pinched some of the skin on the scrotum area with the buzzer. When I did, there was no blood visible...but I know it was pinched because I felt it when it happened.

So now I am concerned about the possibility of HIV transmission. What is the chances of that fresh blood getting into those "pinched" areas or even my buzzed down gential area hair folicles and causing infection. I am really nervous about this and could use some information please. Thank you.

HIV is not alive.  It cannot reproduce outside the body.  It is a fragile virus that begins to break down once it is exposed to air, temp change.  

Plus, keep in mind, odds are overwhelming that this lady was not even infected.

So the virus cannot penetrate the shaved hair follicles on your pubic area? or penetrate those "pinched" areas?

Hi, you had no risk blood or no blood. The virus needs to enter your urethra to be at risk.
