HIV risk from Fingering

I am from India and 2 days back I visited a massage parlour where I was involved in lots of cuddling, naked body rub (I was wearing condom throughout) and then she let me finger her vagina for about good 5 mins. This is now getting me worried. I later learnt that she willing provides sexual favour to all her clients, so I would categorise her as high risk group. I had a long nail while I was fingering her and I felt a lot of vaginal fluid during the time. Does having a long nail increase the risk?? I am scared now.

Nobody, not even you, gets HIV from fingering. :>))  The only risks are unprotected vaginal or unprotected anal sex or sharing IV needles to inject drugs. Air inactivates the virus.Fingering is ZERO risk. Even with a 'long' nail. No risk

Thanks Guitar. To make sure I understand properly, how fingering is related to “air inactivates the virus’. What I meant by fingering is my couple of fingers were inside her vagina for good 5-10 minutes and can’t the virus be exposed to my blood stream through nails or hangnails without presence of air?? Isn’t this why Fingering described as Low risk for HIV ?

Again thanks for your response
I told you what the risks are. you had no risk. You aren't going to be the first person in the history of hiv to get it from fingering. NO risk
Thank you. I really wish I am not the first person
Since there is no risk, you won't be.
