Dear doctor, hello! Will inserting a finger into a prostitute's vagina infect hiv?

I'm from Asia. Maybe I don't speak English very well. Please understand. The situation is that I inserted my finger into the prostitute's vagina for about 1 minute. The finger was taken out and it was a little wet. I immediately smelled my nose. I was very scared.

The only risks for HIV in adults are:
1) Having unprotected anal or vaginal sex, or
2) sharing intravenous needles with IV drug users.

You cannot get HIV or any STD through hands or fingers - not yours, not anybody else's - no matter what.

If you do not engage in any of the activities I mentioned above with someone HIV+ or whose HIV status is unknown to you, you will NEVER have to worry about getting HIV. There is no information you could add about this event that would make it a risk for HIV.

You had ZERO risk for HIV and you do not need to test.

Thank you for your answer. It makes me much more comfortable.
However, I was worried about one problem, that is, I took out my fingers and smelled it with my nose.
Read my post again to know the ONLY risks for HIV. Being worried does not make your activity a risk for HIV.
