Any risk ?

1. Casual massage
2. Sucking boobs
3. Vaginal fingering
4. Oral kiss not deep on lips

Is there any risk of contracting hiv ?

You've probably read on this forum if you haven't posted here before. The ONLY risks for HIV transmission include having unprotected vaginal or anal sex or sharing IV drug needles. Air and saliva inactivate the virus.  Therefore, you never had a risk at all and do not need to test.

Hi rox thanks for reassuring yes I have read through the forums etc but the anxiety is still very high , should I test just for peace of mind ?
No. This is how anxiety works. You will keep asking us to reassure you, reading online to reassure yourself and testing. You'd only get a negative test as you had no risk. Waste of time and money to test.  The problem with anxiety is there is never enough reassurance. You'll read this and say "oh, good.  I didn't have a risk, I don't have hiv". We wish you'd hang onto that thought and remind yourself of that when your anxiety starts tricking you again.  
Well said Rox unfortunately what you say is exactly true will try to get over it and move on thanks again for all the patient responses
No problem.  What about talking to someone about anxiety if you are stuck with fear that you know is not based on truth but on anxiety?
Yes I will
I will do it but again I know it’s anxiety I notice the finger I used for fingering had a minor skin peel off very minor will this have any effect please ?
I can't help you here with your anxiety issue.  I can only tell you that you had no risk for hiv from fingering. Regardless of what anxious details you add to the scenario, fingering is never a risk. This is really the last time though that I will offer reassurance.  Now it is up to you. Work on the anxiety.
Noted I hope the same reassurance I can assume for the kissing episode as well Tks
