Is There Any Chance Of HIV Infection Thru Protected Sex?

Dear Doctor, I had protected vaginal sex last night and i had a small cut from shaving an inch above the base of my penis, I cut myself approximately 3 hours before intercourse and there was no visible blood, please advise me in regards to HIV infection from vaginal fluid coming into contact with this cut, whether a doctor would prescribe post exposure prophylaxis treatment in this case. Kind regards, M
