Am I at HIV Risk?

I was in a gay sauna with other men. While back facing, someone penetrated me. Suspect is only a finger.
What if it were a penis, am I subjected to any risk. Or should I ask how easy to get penetrated while standing? Should be less than a min

Ya, I think you'd remember penetration especially in the standing position.  And poking or fingering won't give you HIV.  The only ways people get HIV is if they have unprotected vaginal or anal penetration intercourse or share IV drug needles. But air inactivates the virus so fingering is never a risk.

I cannot remember what penetrated me for a brief moment. Should be finger. Unlikely the penis can be so stretchy. Haha
Would not be a penis,  that would be too cumbersome and difficult.  If these places make you nervous, avoid them.

It seems unlikely that some one can insert their penis into your anus so effortlessly while you are standing.

From a logical stand point, I feel this event is not viable. However, this is not a forum to discuss poking.
