On this site your question gets asked at least a few times daily,so you can also read the advice from lots of threads.
You asked this question on my journal as well, and got an answer there. No one else is going to tell you anything different.
Soni don't need testing for this particular incident?
So I*
No risk = no test.
Thanks a lot for writing! Forgot to mention I'm the male who was performing the oral sex. The fact that the cut was new doesn't change anything?

No, reread the part about nothing.
Thanks a lot for your advice!
You had no risk of HIV and are so safe that you don't need to test.
HIV is instantly inactivated in air and also in saliva which means it is effectively dead so it can't infect from oral activities. It doesn't matter if you and they were actively bleeding or had cuts at the time either because the HIV is effectively dead. The csw knows this was a no risk activity so that is likely why she allowed it.
Only adult risks are unprotected penetrating vaginal or anal sex or sharing needles that you inject with but you didn't do that so you had no risk. This sentence is all you need to know to protect yourself against HIV.
Even with blood, lactation, cuts, rashes, burns, etc the air or the saliva does not allow inactivated virus to infect from oral activities. The above HIV science is 40 years old and very well established so nothing you can add will make your situation a risk.
No one got HIV from oral activities in 40 years of HIV history, so likely no one will in the next 40 years of your life either.
