Can I transmit hiv to others only 4-5 hours after "if" I am infected

Doctor, a few days ago I had sex with a prostitute without a condom. but at that time the penis was soft and not hard, so it could not be inserted, tried to insert it, it slipped out, so stopped after 2-3 times of trying to insert it (no scratches at all. it was soft enough to not have sex. The penis in and out again.) At 5 pm when I got home, I washed my whole body and penis, around 9-10 am I had sex with my wife, tell me if there is an infection rate from prostitutes "if any ". And can I infect my wife only 4-5 hours after having sex with a prostitute?
