Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
It is possible to have ulcerative and herpetic lesions over the uncovered area of genitals and around, with a protected sex. Similarly we can not rule out the possibility of HIV transmission through another STD lesion which is more common. Instead of ranging the risk, it is better to have a HIV test after 12 weeks and rule out the possibility of both HIV 1&2. That will relieve your mental tension.
Get well soon.
