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.

You can't get HIV through your finger, no matter what detail you think of.  Move on from this event.

Hiv is not transmitted by this way ... never happened and you will not be the first  .
