Risk of HIV after massage at massage parlor?

Thank you for this forum, it has been of great help. About a week ago I went to a massage parlor and the lady sat with her underwear on top of me, my underwear was also on. After the massage she gave me protected oral sex, and I licked her breast. My tongue could have touched her nipple for about 2 seconds. I then rubbed her clitoris with my index finger which had a cut on the top part, the cut was about 8hours old. The cut could have touched her vagina briefly, I did not finger her and only touched her outside. The cut was not bleeding. Do I have a HIV or other STD rik and do I need testing?

Please help...

Thanks in Advance

You have posted about many fears from massages and sex workers so maybe it isn't worth going if you spend so much time in fear afterwards. Was your latest question answered before?

No this question have not been answered before...
You had no HIV risk so it doesn't matter if she was positive which makes testing a waste of time.
HIV is instantly inactivated in air and also in saliva which means it is effectively dead so it can't infect from touching, external rubbing 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 the following:
1. unprotected penetrating vaginal
2. unprotected penetrating anal sex
3. sharing needles that you inject with. Knowing these 3 are all you need to know to protect yourself against HIV. Your situation is a long way from any of these 3.
Even with blood, lactation, cuts, rashes, burns, etc the air or the saliva does not allow inactivated virus to infect from touching, external rubbing or oral activities. The above HIV science is 40 years old and very well established so there is no detail that you can add that will make any of your encounter a risk for HIV.  No one in 40 years of HIV history got HIV from the situation you are concerned about so it is unlikely that it will happen in the next 40 of your lifetime either.
Thank you. In future I will rather stay away from massage parlors do not matter how tempting they are, my OCD always gets the better of me.
