Brief Answer:
Not likely

Detailed Answer:
Hi there
The fact is that for HIV to be transmitted, the sex worker should have it first
There is no guarantee that she had HIV
It is a professional hazard for them, not a professional qualification

second, the HIV is spread through body fluids
So if her body fluids did not come in contact with your wound, transmission is unlikely

Third, and this is a less important factor, HIV transmission is more successful from males to females, and less so from females to males.

And fourth, you used a barrier method. So that low risk is further negated.

SO I think the risk of transmission of HIV is less possible

Best of luck
