Theoretic risk?

3 weeks ago I was in Thailand where a friend took me to a massage place which turned out to be a happy ending place.  

I was lying naked face down with my penis on the towel which may have been used by the previous client.  

She massaged the opening to my anus.   Is there any risk if she had a fresh cut on her hand which didn't have a chance to come in contact to oxygen and the blood went directly into my anus (mucous membrane)?

I ended up receiving protected oral sex.   I realized after, I had a scratch on the botton shaft of my penis from the previous day that was unprotected by the condom.    Any risk,  If she had bleeding saliva falling to that cut?

What I fear most is that Thailand has a different strain of HIV (subtype CRF01_AE ), which I read is more easily transmitted via mucous membrane and I feel everything I read is towards subtype B which is relavent in the United States.  

Is there any real difference between the subtypes that I should be concerned about?   Also, Is there any theoretical risk that I should get tested based on my story?  

Thank you ahead of time for your response.

I do 2 have nicknames.  I didn't know that was against the rules and I don't want to be banned.   Can you or anyone else evaluate my a risk?

so there's no way HIV is transmitted with a bleeding cut on a hand that is placed directly to the opening of the anus?  

I was hoping I would get more responses that reinforces that this wasn't a risk so it would help me move on.

Thanks.

No risk,theoretical or otherwise.At no time did you have an exposure.Testing is not required.Hiv is unable to reproduce outside it's living host.Also saliva contains protiens and enzymes that render the hiv virus inactive.You can stop worrying.
