Cut in the tounge and Oral sex

Dear Dr.
Recently I visited a sexworker, who claims to be disease free. 2-3 hours before visiting her I had a cut on my tongue (Toungue got in between teeths while chewing gum), apparently there was no bleeding but cut was evident. Then I had oral sex (sucked the vagina hard), after the episode I realised the cut on my tongue and got scared . I had protected vaginal sex also. (which I know is safe)
Pratcically what is the probability of transmitting HIV after the oral episode nad the tongue cut?
I am really worried and scared?
Should I test myself?
Please help?

There is no debate (among experts) about the HIV risks associated with oral sex. The risk is so low that almost nobody who cares for HIV infected patients has ever had a patient believed to have been infected that way. Among experts, it's a semantic issue about using terms like "no risk" and "very low risk". There is no difference between my or Dr. Hook's use of "low risk" and other experts' "no risk".
DR. HANSFIELD

"And oral sex is basically safe sex -- completely safe with respect to HIV and although not zero risk for other STDs, the chance of infection is far lower than for unprotected vaginal or anal sex. Please educate yourself about the real risks. If you stick with oral sex and condom-protected vaginal or anal sex, you have no HIV worries and very little worry about other STDs. " DR HANSFIELD

"I am sure you can find lots of people who belive that HIV is transmitted by oral sex, but you will not find scientific data to support this unrealistic concern..." DR HOOK
"HIV is not spread by touching, masturbation, oral sex or condom protected sex."- DR. HOOK

in the public HIV Prevention forum of MedHelp, TEAK and the other moderators maintain that oral sex in all forms is a zero risk activity. Would you agree with this assessment?
I TOTALLY AGREE / DR GARCIA

"The observation on thousand and thousand of observations is that HIV is not spread by oral sex (of any sort)." DR HOOK

You had no risk, oral sex is not a risk. Even with the cut. The cut heals very quickly, a barrier is created so nothing gets into it. That is why any type of infection from a cut is difficult to get (bacterial infections I am talking about).
