risks?

I received oral from a guy a few days ago. Normally I wouldn't be worried but this was an anonymous encounter. The thing that really worries me is after I got home I noticed that the head of my penis was bleeding from what looked like a small cut. I am not sure what happened (sharp teeth, he bit me?) but I am worried about exposure to any and all stds especially hiv. I cleaned and disinfected the  lesion as soon as I got home (within 45 min) and I haven't noticed any inflammation etc. What should I do? Get tested immediately? What are my chances that I am infected? Any advice is appreciated.

Doesn't change that you didn't have a risk.

It had stopped bleeding I guess by then. I meant to say that I had blood on my underwear and it could only have happened by him biting me. It was obviously unprotected sex. I didn't notice that cut until I got home 20 min later. The next day there was a little bruising but that was all. Does that make sense?

It is no risk because saliva does not contain the HIV virus that is viable for infection. Also small cuts and things like that do not give the correct route for tranmission.

And if you were bleeding when you got home that cust would have been very recent. It would not have still been bleeding if the guy had cut you.

I was just wondering if you could elaborate. Why don't I have a risk? I thought a cut on my penis would be the only way I could be exposed to hiv or anything else. I was reading about the chances of getting an std on other sites and it said that it was extremely low risk to recieve oral (unprotected), but I thought in this case I should be worried, in case he had hiv and had sores in his mouth or something of that nature. So are you saying that recieving oral I don't have much to worry about at all? I am new to the whole thing (anonymus encounters with other men) so I guess I could use any other advice I could get. Thanx so much.
