Cut at base on Penis

[Happy2022]

Hello, I had a protected vaginal intercourse with a CSW and I had a fresh (18h old) scissor cut at the base of my penis.
The cut was about 2mm deep and was not covered with the condom. Cut was covered with vaginal fluid and could have penetrated the opening of the vagina.

a) Am I at risk for HIV from this and do I need to get tested?
b) would you consider a 2mm deep cut to be superficial with zero access to the blood stream?
c) why does CDC say that HIV can penetrate the body through cuts anywhere on the penis

Thank you for what you do for the community.

Your question has already been answered that you had no risk.

Your situation involves personal contact with an object in air  (cut, blood, body, fluids etc. ). You will be happy to learn that you had no risk, because you can't get hiv from personal contact except unprotected penetrating vaginal or anal with a penis, neither of which you did and you didn't share hollow needles to inject with which is the only other way to acquire hiv - there are ONLY 3 ways to get hiv. Note that 2 of them require a penis and the third requires a hollow injecting shared needle - there are no OTHER ways to get hiv. Analysis of large numbers of infected people over the 40 years of hiv history has proven that people don't get hiv in the way you are worried is a risk.
Hiv is a fragile virus in air or saliva and is effectively instantly dead in either air or saliva so the WORST that could happen is dead virus rubbed you, and obviously anything which is dead cannot live again so you are good. Blood and cuts would not be relevant in your situation since the hiv has become effectively dead, so you don't have to worry about them to be sure that you are safe.
There is no reason for a person to test when they are safe. The advice took into consideration that the other person might be positive, so move on and enjoy life instead of thinking about this non-event. hiv prevention is straightforward since there are only 3 ways you can become infected, so next time you wonder if you had a risk, ask yourself this QUESTION. "Did I do any of the 3?" Then after you say "No, I didn't" you will know that it's time to move on back to your happy life.
No one got hiv from what you did during 40 years of hiv history and no one will get it in the next 40 years of your life either.  You can do what you did any time and be safe from hiv.
The other person's status is irrelevant when you have no exposure to live virus.
Only the head of your penis needs to be covered by the condom. The CDC likes to tell you that you can get hiv from theoretical transmission methods even though it hasn't happened in 40 years of hiv history, so if you want to worry about things that have never happened I suggest therapy - because there are thousands of diseases that you can actually catch because these transmissions ACTUALLY DID happen - so your priorities are mixed up worrying about something that hasn't ever occurred.

Thank  you Sir. You are sure that even if the cut entered the opening of the vagina, there are no risks for HIV and does not warrant testing. Thanks

I am sure it is time to move on.

Hi, sorry, anxiousness is getting over me. After 2 month now after exposure, I have a dry cough, fatique and scattered pink raised rash over my stomach and a few pink spots on my neck.

Are you 100% sure that I do not warrant a HIV test based on the above exposure? protected sex with a cut at the base of the penis that came into contact with vaginal fluid?

Thanks for your assistance and I will not write again.
