Hand job, kissing, nipple sucking

Hi, I recently had an encounter with a sex worker. I did not wish to have sex but however, I did a lot of foreplay which included kissing and sucking her breasts vigorously and she gave me a hand job without a condom. So I have 2 questions that are bothering me:
1. Can i get infected for HIV or any other std by kissing and sucking on a sex workers nipples vigorously? Assume she is infected and she was lactating too.
2. What is my risk for getting a hand job without a condom? Her hands seemed fine but what if she had some cuts that I did not see.

Please do respond as this is really bothering my mind. Should I get tested to clear my mind? What test do I need to do and after how many days?

Thank you in advance for being kind enough to reply.

You had no risk for HIV and a test would be a waste of time. People touch others all the time - for example shaking hands and no one has to wear latex gloves to protect a bleeding cut.

HIV is instantly inactivated in air and also in saliva which means it is effectively dead so it can't infect from touching or oral activities. It doesn't matter if you and they were actively bleeding or had cuts at the time either because the HIV is effectively dead.  
Only adult risks are unprotected penetrating vaginal or anal sex or sharing needles that you inject with. This sentence is all you need to know to protect yourself against HIV.
Even with blood, lactation, cuts, rashes, burns, etc the air or the saliva does not allow inactivated virus to infect from touching or oral activities. The above HIV science is 40 years old and very well established.
No one got HIV from touching or oral activities in 40 years of HIV history, so likely no one will in the next 40 years of your life either.

Thanks a lot for your response. Really appreciate you answering my query. Had read somewhere that breastfeeding can lead to HIV in babies. So doesn't that apply to adults as well. In the sense she could be lactating and I have sucked on that, pretty much like in the case of breastfeeding. So why would that be no risk? Don't mean to challenge your response, I'm just asking to clear my doubt. Thank you.

The GI tract of babies (less than a year old) are not developed enough and might end up absorbing the virus, the adult GI tract does not absorb the virus thus ingestion of infected material (blood, milk or anything else) does not cause the infection.
