No HIV risk as long as the head of your penis was covered the entire time.

There is a chance of hsv2, but condom use reduces that significantly. Your chances of getting herpes from a one-time protected encounter are about 1 in 10,000.

Even with a cut like a friction burn ? As far as contracting HSV 2
We have no studies on that, so we can't say for sure. If the friction burn area was covered, it changes nothing. In theory, it might increase the risk some, but you don't even know if she has herpes. She uses condoms to protect herself from her clients, not to protect you from her.

I’m sorry to bug but I had one more question for you as for HSV2 when would symptoms typically appear, and what are the symptoms in men ?
The incubation period for hsv2 is 2-12 days, with an average of 4 - https://www.cdc.gov/std/herpes/stdfact-herpes-detailed.htm
