fingering

8 weeks ago I had protected oral and vaginal sex with a female sex worker.  My concern is I inserted my fingers into her vagina only about 10 sec, I then realized I had a small cut on my finger and peeling skin not bleeding and very small.  Drove myself crazy for weeks worrying, is this a possible exposure?

No risk at all,you did all that worrying for nothing.Cuts and scratches heal over so quickly that there is no point of entry.Peeling skin is not even considered as a cut or scratch.Your finger would have had to have a cut so deep that it would have required hospital attention,this was not the case.Your safe and you had no risk.No testing required.
