The only way to know is to have an STI screening by a doctor or a sexual health clinic

Like others have suggested, please seek testing for a sexually transmitted infection. Keep in mind that open wounds in general, especially in the the genital or mouth area, allow for easier transmission of chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, herpes, and HIV, etc. Definitely use condoms to minimize risk and avoid sex altogether if an open wound is present. If you suspect the possibility of HIV transmission, I suggest PEP (Post Exposure Prophylaxis) if that treatment is available in your area. The medication must be taken within 72 hours of the sexual encounter and typically entails a 30-day pill regimen. The medication prevents HIV from infecting your body. There is also Prep (Pre Exposure Prophylaxis) and that entails a once-a-day bill that prevents HIV infection. However, the daily regimen uses powerful antivirals that require lab-work every three months to monitor liver and kidney function. Finally, if you're going to be sexually active, request the HPV (Human Papillomavirus) vaccination to minimize throat, cervical and anal cancers.
