Protected Sex/Unprotected Oral With Sex Worker

5 weeks ago I had unprotected oral sex and protected (condom) sex with a sex worker. While I understand this is a low chance of most STDs my concerns are because about 20 minutes before the encounter I shaved some of my genital region and knicked myself at the top of my penis where pubic hair meets the base. It was a very small cut and stopped bleeding in less than a minute. I am very worried that while it stopped bleeding, the condom did not cover the small cut when I had sex. To add to my concerns I have just got a small genital wart (about 2-3 weeks after the encounter) in almost exactly the same spot where I knicked myself shaving. I have a few questions regarding this situation:

1) Does this place me at risk of contacting HIV from the sex worker? If so, what are the chances?
2) What are the chances that a sex worker in the UK (I'm from Sheffield) would have HIV in the first place (she was caucasan around 30 if it helps)?
3) As I understand, there is a theoretical risk of HIV through unprotected oral, but this risk is miniscule?
4) Should I get tested? If so, how long should I wait? It's been around 5 months since the encounter.

Thanks for your help.

One question to put my mind at ease, sorry if you feel you are repeating yourself, but if the small cut was still open and her vagina and fluids rubbed up against it for the duration, does this still constitute a no risk scenario?

At no time were you ever at risk of contracting HIV. As for oral stds you'll need to ask your questions in the std forum.
