Protected vaginal sex - sore/rub on pubis close to penis

Hi! I have protected sex with a girlfriend - we started relationships month ago and i don't know her hiv status.

I am cyclist and after a long ride i have some rubs or sores on pubis very close to penis.

1. Is it possible to get HIV if we have protected vaginal sex and i have such rubs? Her vaginal fluids or menstrual blood (we have sex during menstruation) sometimes get over my rubs.

2.  Should i worry? Get tested?

Sorry if it looks stupid - i am an anxiety type of person.

Risks for HIV are:
1) Having unprotected penetrative anal or vaginal sex, OR
2) Sharing IV drug equipment with other IV drug users.

Fluid outside of either of these environments is not infectious, no matter what.  You had zero risk and you do not need a test.
