HIV can be transmitted whenever blood, semen, vaginal fluid and/or breast milk from an infected person enters another person's body- either through a natural body opening such as the mouth or vagina or an unnatural opening like a wound, puncture etc.
If you had open cuts and vaginal fluid entered them, then yes transmission is possible-however, it probably is not likely.
