I had protected oral sex with a escort .. But I had a cut that was open.. It was bleeding a little it was in my pubic area .. What are the risk of hiv? If the escort had bleeding gums or blood in mouth and came into contact with my cut? I'm freaking out
:'(

HIV is not transmitted by oral sex doesn't matter. HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions; therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.

Even if blood on blood contact..?? CDC said a microscopic cut?? Can pose a risk ? Why no risk here?

You received your answer. You did not have an exposure.

I have a gf so I'm worried bout infecting her

You can't infect her with anything you don't have. You never had an exposure.

The notion of "microscopic cuts" is conjecture on the part of scientists in the early 80s who had no clue at the time how HIV is spread.
Our information has gotten much better. You will not get HIV from someone slobbering on your cut, microscopic or not. I am assuming, of course, that you did not repeatedly punch her in the mouth during the encounter, or slit her throat so that she was hemorrhaging on you. Then again, even if you did that (I imagine that costs extra) you wore a condom - which protected the only vulnerable parts of your penis from any infectious fluid.
Infectious fluids, by the way, are not found in the mouth. This is why kissing is no risk, nor any form of oral sex in any situation except theoretically a horror movie.
HIV is far too fragile, and saliva contains over a dozen powerful elements that render it incapable of infecting. Wear a condom for penetrative anal and vaginal sex and you will avoid HIV (in a sexual scenario.)
It really is that simple.
