Fingering a woman with a scabbed cut

Hello,

First of all thank you very much in advance for your help

I'm a bit of a hypochondriac and the other day I went to an erotic masseuse in Canada with whom I ended up touching her clitoris and fingering her for maybe around 2 minutes, she was very wet...

The point is that in the finger which I used for fingering I had in the middle a scabbed cut of around 1cm (the cut was around 5 days old or maybe more), seemed dry but a bit red and infected (not bleeding) a day later the scab fell off and the wound appeared to be closed.

Also I would like to mention that in the other finger which I touched her clitoris (in this case were two fingers) I had a small hangnail (not blood, but a red point)

The masseuse told me that she does not have any sexually transmitted disease but she also offers sex with protection (in my case it was only mutual masturbation).

Should I be worried?

Much appreciated your answers

Thanks so much AnxiousNoMore for taking your time answering me, your extensive reply has been very helpful  

You know as a hypochondriac is hard for me to introduce all this correct information in my mind, I know that in. 40 years hasn't been reported a case in this manner

The only thing that I don't understand is about the air, because if you introduce the finger inside a wet vagina that means inside the body with no air or do we produce air in the fingering process?

I guess in my particular case I have to reason that also the cut was scabbed and at the other was a small hangnail, I didn't neither have much time my finger inside..

Anyway this part of your answer "Did I do any of the 3?" Then after you say "No, I didn't" you will know that it's time to move on back to your happy life is going to be really important for me, I will do that

Much appreciated again for your time and knowledge

The bottom line is that you cannot get HIV or any STDs through your finger. That simply does not happen, even with "wounds" on the finger.

Don't have unprotected anal/vaginal intercourse with someone who is HIV+ or whose HIV status is unknown to you, and don't share intravenous drug needles, and you will never have to worry about HIV.
Thanks so much CurfewX for your comments, I will try to stick this on my mind, you know sometimes is hard for super worried persons like me.... but yes it is a relief to hear that you cannot get HIV or any STDs through your finger even with "wounds" on the finger. Just I didn't understand the point of the AIR fingering a vagina

Your situation involves personal contact with an object in air  ( hand, maybe blood, maybe cut, fluids,  etc. ). You will be happy to learn that you had no risk, because you can't get hiv from personal contact except unprotected penetrating vaginal or anal with a penis, neither of which you did and you didn't share hollow needles to inject with which is the only other way to acquire hiv - there are ONLY 3 ways to get hiv. Note that 2 of them require a penis and the third requires a hollow injecting shared needle - there are no OTHER ways to get hiv. Analysis of large numbers of infected people over the 40 years of hiv history has proven that people don't get hiv in the way you are worried is a risk.
Hiv is a fragile virus in air or saliva and is effectively instantly dead in either air or saliva so the WORST that could happen is dead virus rubbed you, and obviously anything which is dead cannot live again so you are good. Blood and cuts would not be relevant in your situation since the hiv has become effectively dead, so you don't have to worry about them to be sure that you are safe. Any hiv test would be a waste of time.
There is no reason for a person to test when they are safe. The advice took into consideration that the other person might be positive, so move on and enjoy life instead of thinking about this non-event. hiv prevention is straightforward since there are only 3 ways you can become infected, so next time you wonder if you had a risk, ask yourself this QUESTION. "Did I do any of the 3?" Then after you say "No, I didn't" you will know that it's time to move on back to your happy life.
No one got hiv from what you did during 40 years of hiv history and no one will get it in the next 40 years of your life either.  You can do what you did any time and be safe from hiv.
The other person's status is irrelevant when you have no exposure to live virus.
No risk=no hiv disease=no ARS symptoms.
