Was I at risk of getting infected with HIV?

Yesterday, at the gym steam room a man seduced me and started masturbating in front of me... I got horny and we kissed and touched. He put his finger in my anus (hole) about 1 or 1.5 centimetes deep. The problem is that he did it with a finger with his precum and I also have wounds in my anus area because my skin is very sensitive there, they hurt and bleed when I use toilet paper. I know that normally HIV gets inactivated by contact with air but as we were in a steam room I don't know if the warm, dark and moist environment would keep the virus active. I'm really scared.

Steam is still air and nothing you can add will make your situation a risk. You are so safe that you don't even need to test.

There isn't any information our members can add, as they have accurately assessed the situation as a no-risk event, regardless of the condition of the room.

Only a penis inside an anus or vagina is a risk.  A finger, even with precum on it, is still NOT a penis.  No risk.

Whats the difference if the precum is fresh in both cases? Just a question, it doesnt mean I dont believe your answer. Thanks!
The simple fact is that HIV is a fragile virus and requires very specific conditions in order to infect.  No one in the 40 year history of HIV got infected this way, and tens, if not hundreds of millions of people have been fingered under similar circumstances.
Is there information to know that the conditions of a steam room do not benefit the virus for it to infect out of a human body?

There was a mixture of sweat, water and precum. Does water nake it harder for HIV to survive?
