High Risk Handjob? Please Advise.

I understand through reading various posts that handjobs carry an essentially non-existent risk for HIV.  However, I received a handjob from a stripper who used her saliva.  I realized her saliva had blood in it.  I myself had small razor cuts on the base of my penis.  Is it impossible for the blood from her saliva to have entered into my razor cuts and infected me?  If so, why? That is, is a larger amount of blood needed to infect via blood on blood contact? Please advise.

Thanks, Teak.  I am grateful for the prompt reply.  I know you have helped many on this forum and elsewhere.  Is there a scientific reason that I was never at risk other than the fact there are no documented cases?  For example, was I never at risk because blood on blood contact requires a larger amount of blood than I described? Or because the razor cuts do not provide an effective entry into the blood stream? Or because HIV doesn't stay active long outside of the body?  That is, what distinguishes my scenario from, say, someone's blood coming into contact with someone else's open cut?

You were never at risk. HIV is not transmitted by masturbation.
