Can i get HIV with a little cut on my tongue

Hello docs,20 days ago i did cunninglingus with a sex worker, after that i had protected sex. The thing makes me worried is i remembered that 1 hour before, i ate snack and feel little hurt at the top of my tongue, i can't see any blood but i can truly feel that hurt, maybe i got a cut but it is too small to see and the problem is i licked her and let my hurt point touch her vagina. I worried that is enough to get HIV, i saw many post that told me oral sex carries extremely low risk but not zero risk, especially i had a cut on my tongue and let that cut touch Vagina's fluid. Do i need HIV test ?? Cause i am very very very worried, please help me

It is actually disabled since it isn't alive in the first place but it amounts to the same thing. There are 40 years of history and no cases so you are safe.

This answers all of your HIV questions, and if you can think of any more just reread about the 3. You had zero risk therefore  testing is irrelevant to your situation because you had zero risk. HIV is a fragile virus, which 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 3 adult risks are the following:
1. unprotected penetrating vaginal with a penis. Only the head needs to be covered, so if that happened it is  protected and there is zero risk
2. unprotected penetrating anal sex with a penis. Only the head needs to be covered, so if that happened it is protected and there is zero risk.
3. sharing hollow needles that you inject with.
The only way to get HIV is if you did one of the 3. The situation you describe 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. This HIV science is 40 years old and very well established, so no detail that you can add to your encounter will change it from zero risk. Because of all the research statistics, doctors have calculated the risk from what you describe to be less than that of being hit by a meteor, therefore no one will get HIV from what you did in the next 40 years of your life either.
If you didn't have one of the 3 then you are just worrying about your own hiv theory - which is unrealistic for you to think that can become reality - so you should move on back to your happy life instead.
Oral is is zero risk for hiv. The only posts here saying oral is low risk are made by people asking for advice like you who don't know the correct answer.
It is not smart to do oral with a csw though, so check the std forum for those risks.
