HIV risk fingering with glove

Hello!
I went for a tantra massage session. The therapist is a man and I am a man. The therapist wore a latex glove and used water-based lub and fingered my anus to massage my prostate. He also massaged my penis with latex glove and water-based lube.
Since he used latex glove and water-based lub, I believe my risk of getting HIV is zero and I don’t need to be tested.
Am I right?
Thank you in advance!

You have been advised multiple times about what the risks for HIV are.  One last time, the only risks for HIV in adults are:
1) Having unprotected (no condom) penetrative anal or vaginal sex, OR
2) Sharing IV drug equipment with other IV drug users.

As you can see, fingering (with or without a glove) is not on this list. This was a NO-RISK event, and you should be aware of that since we have advised you before.
