Cunnilingus with Herpes Lesion on tongue...

Hi -
My situation is the following:
I performed cunnilingus on a woman (unknown status) and I am aware the  HIV risk here is almost zero. However, I had a visible lesion on my tongue from a recent episode of Herpes (on my tongue) I am worried this lesion could highly increase my risk of getting infected. The lesion was not bleeding but looked more like a crack in the tongue. Please help!!!!!

I think your exposure is as same as giving oral sex to a woman ,as usual.
So , I think according to experts, there will be no risk!
Relax!

Please explain - From what I gather Cunnilingus is almost zero risk unless one has sores or lesions in the mouth as those are considered open doors letting the virus in.
Yes I wasnt bleeding but a relatively fresh lesion is an opening, no? So please explain.

It wasnt bleeding but when I open the crack by folding my tongue, I can see the "reddish" inner part of my tongue. The exposure was 10-15 seconds but still can't vaginal secretions penetrate through this open crack on my tongue?? Please advise.
