worried about encounter

Hello, just wanted to say thank you in advance for any information you can provide me on this matter.
About 2 weeks ago i went to get a massage at massage parlor.
about 20 minutes into the session the masseuse started playing with me and teasing me and asked me to use my tongue on her vagina. I gave her oral for about 30 seconds to 1 minute and then i stopped.
My concern is that about 30 minutes before the massage session i went to the dentist and had some work done.
Nothing major, but i had my regular check up and a teeth cleaning. I am not sure if i had some cuts or bleeding after the dental cleaning,, but in case i did? what are my risks of contracting anything?
Like i said i used my tongue on her for a brief time and then stopped.
Please let me know your professional opinion on this situation,, i highly appreciate it.
Thanks so much.

There is nothing to worry about. Despite the fact that you might have recent cuts in your mouth and gums due to your dental work, there is still no risk for HIV from this exposure. The quoted figure for HIV risk, if one has oral sex with an infected partner is less than 1 in 10,000 and, in my estimation that is too high. Some experts state there is no risk at all from oral sex. Neither of us on this site have ever seen or reading the medical literature of a convincing instance in which HIV was passed by oral sex. This includes by all of the people who had recent dental work, sores in their mouth, gum disease, etc. In your case you do not know that you r partner had HIV and statistically is unlikely that she did. Even if she did however, there is no meaningful risk. There really is not reason for you to be concerned or to need testing. I hope this comment is helpful to you. EWH

Just one more thing , i am just trying my best to put my mind at ease and your response really helps.
so even if i had a little bleeding cut in my mouth or tongue after the dental work? still no risk?
