Hi and thank you so much for this excellent forum.
I had a massage at a massage parlor, and at the end of the massage, the masseuse masturbated me with oil. I noticed that I have some cuts on my penis (they look dry, like scratches with blood inside (like after you robbing something super hard) but without anything open and bleeding). It is possible that I contracted HIV from her if she had injuries/sperm (Not mine) on her hands ?
Thank you very much for your assistance.

There was no risk for HIV in your situation. HIV is transmitted by unprotected anal/vaginal sex or by sharing injection needles. Since HIV's ability to infect is destroyed by the changes in air and temperature outside of someone's body, cuts, scratches, or sores along with blood or other bodily fluids don't matter.
Have a great day,
Michael
Reducing Your HIV risks:
With no exceptions, use condoms correctly and consistently for anal or vaginal intercourse
Talk to a healthcare provider about PrEP as another layer of protection
Get tested yearly for HIV and other STIs.
If you don’t use condoms and/or PrEP, test more frequently
Some sexual practices described as safe in terms of acquiring HIV still pose a risk for other more easily acquired STIs. It is possible to show no signs or symptoms from an STI so testing is the only way to know.
Get tested at least yearly for STIs, including but not limited to HIV, and more frequently if condomless intercourse occurs.
What’s the ONLY way to know if you’ve been infected by HIV or an STI?
Get tested.

Thanks, do you think I need to get tested ? (I'm in a long years relationship doing unprotected Sex,and this is the first time i did somethinglike that)
If I decide to get tested when I need to do it to get a conclusive result?

do you think I need to get tested ?
no. because what happened was not a risk for HIV.

Sorry to bother with another question, but my throat hurts and it's hard for me to swallow and I super super worried.
If during the handjob there was a cut with a bit of blood on my penis and there was a wound on her hands or alternatively, another client's semen or semen on the bed, is there still a risk that I got infected?

Asking the same question again isn't going to change anything. Micheal has already answered that it's not an HIV risk.
You got a handjob from a sex-worker, get over it already and if you can't consider talking to a therapist.
