HIV transmission from kissing and gum disease

Dear Doctors. First of all, we thank to you for your great help to people who has many worries about HIV.
My question is, I took massage service in Seoul and after that have sex with the massage girl. Before starting to sex, both of us make washmouth. I have protected sex use condom. But during sex, We had deep kiss including french kiss. My gum health is not good, and sometimes is bleeding. I do not know the girl's mouth health. Is this a risk for HIV transmission, should I get test?

Thanks in advance for your answers

Thank you so much for your kind interest and reply. I was really thinking of my stupid mistake about how I have deep kiss with this girl HIV status unknown. I always give attention not to brush my teeth before sex because of my gum disease. This time I made washmouth for reason my gum not blooding. Again thank you so much for help, and I will consider my risk is close to zero even my gum is blooding.

Kissing in the presence of oral sores, gum inflammation, etc is one of those kinds of exposures that in theory could transmit HIV, but for which there has never been a reported case.  Your risk of HIV probably was higher from the vaginal sex (even with a condom) than from the kissing.  For all practical purposes, you can consider your risk to be zero from this event.  If this is your only potential risk, you don't need testing.
