I had sex with a masseuse a few days back and I kinda lick her vagina for a couple of seconds and at that moment i realized that I had ulcer in my mouth am I at risk of getting infected? Should I go for a blood test? If yes when is the best time to get it done?

At no time were you ever at risk of contracting HIV from oral sex. ulcer or not.

virmire,
Giving a woman oral is not a risk for hiv infection, regardless of what's going on in your mouth.
Here's what you need to know in order to avoid hiv infection:
You need to be using condoms for anal or vaginal intercourse, every time, no exceptions until such time as you are in a securely monogamous relationship where you have both tested for ALL sexually transmitted infections together.
To agree to have unprotected intercourse is to consent to the possibility of being infected with an STI. Sex without a condom lasts only a matter of minutes, but hiv is forever.
Have a look through the condom and lube links in my signature line so you can use condoms with confidence.
ALTHOUGH YOU DO NOT NEED TO TEST SPECIFICALLY OVER CUNNILINGUS, anyone who is sexually active should be having a full sexual health care check-up, including but not limited to hiv testing, at least once a year and more often if unprotected intercourse occurs.
If you aren't already having regular, routine check-ups, now is the time to start. As long as you make sure condoms are being used for intercourse, you can fully expect your routine hiv tests to return with negative results.
Don't forget to always get checked for all the other sexually transmitted infections as well, because they are MUCH easier to transmit than hiv. Some of the other STIs can be present with no obvious symptoms, so the only way to know for sure is to test.
Use condoms for anal or vaginal intercourse, correctly and consistently, and you will avoid hiv infection. It really is that simple!

It was kinda like my 2nd time after a long while and I am kind of afraid of getting HIV had my condom on during sex and during my blowjobs but just forgotten about my ulcers and went for cunnilingus... urgh

Well as you have already been told, the only confirmed risks for transmitting HIV sexually are unprotected vaginal and anal intercourse. Use condoms consistently and properly and you will be well protected.
Period.
