Welcome to our Forum. Thanks for your question. I'll be glad to provide some information, as well as a reassurance that the events you describe were no risk events which did not put you at risk for HIV or other STIs. No testing is needed.
I would add that you do not know that the CSW who give you the massage had HIV. In fact, most CSWs do not. Further HIV is not transmitted through touching and there had never even been a case of HIV proven to result from receipt of oral sex. You need not worry. In answer to your specific questions:\
1. Shaving or having open cuts on your penis or in your genital region would not put you at risk for HIV, even if the CSW got saliva or genital secretions on the cuts. No risk. This is true even if she had blood or cuts on her hands.
2. With or without gloves, there is no risk for HIV or other STIs from receipt of a massage, even if she had cuts on her hands.
3. Contact of saliva with your penis would not put you at risk for HIV. As I mentioned above, even with receipt of oral sex, there has never been a case of HIV proven to be acquired in this way.
Summary. The events you describe were no risk events. There is no reason for testing and no reason for concern. I hope this information will be helpful. EWH
