Exposure of fingers (or any other body part with intact skin) is No Risk because the virus cannot penetrate through human skin

Thank you for your reply but the fluid on my finger may on some part of my penis or on top of penis during i removed condom. Does it still a concern of infection?
No, any infectious (if it is) body fluid remains infectious inside its host, as soon as it is exposed to the ambient air, oxygen in air inactivates the virus almost instantly. Therefore, transmission of HIV is possible due to the exchange of body fluids INSIDE the body, not outside.
You had no risk and a test would be a waste of time.
HIV is instantly inactivated in air and also in saliva which means it is effectively dead so it can't infect from touching, external rubbing or oral activities. It doesn't matter if you and they were actively bleeding or had cuts at the time either because the HIV is effectively dead.
Only adult risks are the following:
1. unprotected penetrating vaginal
2. unprotected penetrating anal sex
3. sharing needles that you inject with. Your situation is a long way from any of these 3.
Even with blood, lactation, cuts, rashes, burns, etc the air or the saliva does not allow inactivated virus to infect from touching, external rubbing or oral activities. The above HIV science is 40 years old and very well established so there is no detail that you can add that will make any of your encounter a risk for HIV. No one in 40 years of HIV history got HIV from the situation you are concerned about so it is unlikely that it will happen in the next 40 of your lifetime either.

Can I get HIV from surfaces, like toilet seats?
Can you get HIV from casual contact, like hugging?
Frequency of HIV testing depends on your risk.
Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) may help prevent HIV infection.
