Welcome to the Forum. I will be pleased to comment. The activities you describe did not put you at risk. Before I comment on the risk of certain activities, let me remind you that most commercial sex workers do not have HIV. More importantly however, the activities you describe we no risk events. If your partner's vagina contacted the cut on your knee, even if she had HIV, this would not put you at risk as HIV is not transmitted by this sort of simple contact but requires penetrative intercourse or injection of infected material deep into tissue to cause infection. Similarly, receipt of oral sex did not put you at risk for HIV either- there are no proven cases in which persons have acquired HIV from receipt of oral sex- none at all. Thus, based on the activities that you describe there is no medical reason for concern and no reason for testing.
If you wish the assurance and peace of mind that a negative test might provide, you could seek testing with a 4th generation, combination HIV antigen/antibody test at 4 weeks after your exposure- a negative test at that time would be definitive and would prove that you did not get HIV from the exposure you have described.
I hope these comments and information is helpful to you. EWH
