Answer -
I dont have time to answer all of these questions...please ask only 1-2 questions.

Answer
I am not a doctor so I cannot answer the hemoglobin question- that should be directed at someone who has experience reading lab results.

Anytime that infected blood, semen, vaginal fluid and/or breast milk enter another person's body, transmission can occur. So, if this happened with the sex worker, then it is possible. However, unprotected oral sex (which is what it could be considered) is not nearly as risky as unprotected vaginal and anal sex. I cannot say there is no risk in this situation, but I can say that it is very small. The only way to know one's HIV status, is to be tested. You should direct your specific questions about testing and lab results to the person who conducted the test.
