Please ***** my risk very scared

First off i would like to say hi to everybody on the forum and will be grateful for any feedback that i get for my question.

Exactly 4 weeks ago i believe i had a high risk encounter. I had protected sex with both oral and vaginal with a prostitute. The condom that was used was her's although i had two condoms with me. It seemed to be new and she unrolled it over my erect penis. She began by performing oral, then she was on on top and i finished in the missionary position. The condom did not fail to my knowledge during the sex and recall that i pulled out when i ejaculated and the condom was perfectly over my penis with the *** in it. Then i removed the condom and threw it away and the encounter was over. However i started feeling really guilty and stupid for what i had done later that day and have been paranoid about stds since especially HIV. To add another twist to the story i had shaved my genital region approximately 1 hour before the encounter while in the shower using shaving cream. I did not notice any cuts at all during the shaving so basically nothing caught my attention. However, i have become very worried that perhaps vaginal fluids came in contact with the genital region i shaved and the shaving could have given me broken skin that the virus could have passed through assuming the prostitute was HIV +.  I am positive i did not have any open bleeding during the encounter or during shaving. At the most it would have been a very small nick or razor bumps by the base of the penis and my worry is perhaps without my knowledge her vaginal fluids could have come in contact with my shaved genital region and possibly infected me.

Maybe its my paranoia or other sickness, but since the encounter i have occasionally felt some chills and had goosebumps. I have not had a fever or night sweat that i recall. I have not had any cough but i had some sores in my mouth for a few days which have gone away. However, lately i have been feeling very tired and fatigued which i noticed at training. I am a boxer and i recall this monday i had good training session, tuesday i went runing then starting wednesday my training sessions have been **** and i have been feeling very weak and tired when i train otherwise throughout the day i feel fine but have nothing when i train. I did happen to go on a run on tuesday when it was raining rather heavily outside i had a hood on and everything but maybe i caught a lil flu then? I took my temperature a couple of days ago and it was a bit below normal temperature (35.9 and 36.2 Celius). I have heard HIV symptoms are not a good way to indicate whether you have been infected but naturally anything that goes wrong with me i get paranoid.

Thus i would like to know what my chances are of getting infected through protected encounter and if me shaving my genital region approximately 1 to 1.5 hours before sex increased my risk. Or am i paranoid for no reason? I greatly appreciate all the feedback i will get.

i know you guys have told me i have no risk, however, i am curious and have a little question i want to ask. Does a cut have to be deep or actively bleeding for hiv to get into your bloodstream. Would vaginal fluids have to be repeatedly rubbed over the area for the virus to get into your bloodstream? These are just questions i would like answered if anybody can help me out i would be grateful.
