Risk from cut

Hello everyone.
I was wondering whether the presence of a cut in my groin( along the underwear line on my left hand side) could be a risk of transmission during the intimate act.
Sex was protected however, noticed quite a lot of fluid near the base and on pubis whilst the condom was taken off.
Sex was with a CSW.
Thank you for any advice you can provide.

Hello Teak. Sorry I'd asked the question again. As I'd mention the other posters post made me doubt advice given to me by yourself and others.
I also contacted a sexual health adviser who told me that the risk is very minimal/ virtually nonexistent and didn't advise testing (though said most people will only to put their minds at ease). Also gave me a lot of info and CSW in general and on testing with 4 th generation tests.

Again thanks for answering my questions and I do apologise for ' freaking out' a little, especially as it wasn't warranted.

Have a great day/night

The cut I first asked about was not bleeding. This one was.
Or am I safe to assume that the no risk given by you and hangon51 is the same irregardless of whether it is bleeding or not?

Hello everyone. Thanks again for your replies.
I just have one other inquiry. I forget to mention that in the grinding experience that when I'd gotten home to have another shower (I'd showered at the establishment afterwards) I'd noticed a 1cm long cut in my groin near my scrotum that was bleeding. Not as in running, but rather a big blood drop protruding from it.
As it bled and was close to my scrotum ( in which was rubbed by the CSW workers vulva during masturbation) I am a little concerned about any risks.
I apologise for asking, but medguys comments has me worrying.
Thanks in advance.

Yeah this forum and doctors forum have been great and has made me aware of how much misinformation I was taught in school ( and on the internet in general) regarding the transmission of HIV and STDs.
Thanks again for helping me.

Thank you for you response hangon51. I didn't think there was but as I noticed the cut  a couple of hours after the event I was a little concerned as I'd read that fresh cuts could be a source of transmission.
However upon further research on some other threads describing a similar event and your response, I'm now better educated and do not need to ask the same question again.
Thanks again.

No. It isn't even remotely to be considered a risk.
