fingering a vagina that has piercing

I went to a massage parlour yesterday and since I was extremely cautious due to my last anxiety episode I did not engage in any sort of sex(vaginal, anal, oral). Instead we only did mutual masturbation.

After fingering for a long amount of time I cleaned my penis with wet tissue and I am afraid I cannot remember whether I touched my urethra with my fingers that are covered with vaginal fluid. There was a very short time between getting my fingers out and touching my penis. Less than a minute certainly.

Also few hours after this exposure I noticed peeled skin with a red bloody area exposed along with wet lower layer. The wound was healing so probably it was newly formed during fingering. She had a vaginal piercing so what i fear is that the cut was formed by it during fingering an my fresh little cut with small amount of blood came into contact with virus in the vagina. The cut was on the part of the skin above one of the veins in the finger. So could the virus have reached the vein from thet fresh cut? Also I fingered her a bit hard and I am afraid may be I may contactes the wound to microscopic tears I may have opened while inside vagina. Also the red bloody area in the peeled part is in the skin that is above one the visible veins of the finger.

After this I called the massage parlour and asked about std testing if the girls. They said they care for themselves as much as they care fir the customers and I should not worry. But the sex worker was eastern european and after fingering her she told me I should wash my hands. This made the impression that she knows something that the parlour owners don't. Maybe was recently exposed havent told anyone or tested yet?

Dr. Handsfield says wound caused by a contaminated surface will pose risk. Dr. Jose from freedomhealth says fresh actively bleeding ones are risky. If the piercing caused it it would be fresh actively bleeding caused by a contaminated surface.

Based on this experience and possibility of her piercing acted as a needle, should I fear and test?

Thank you.

i do not understand the biological reasons behind this after all there is a contact with blood which everyone denotes as a major way of transmission. nevertheless thanks for your answer. i will be more relieved if one of the top answerers also give a nod with a small explanation.

In terms of sexual transmission of HIV, the only way to get it is by having unprotected penetrative sex with an infected person. You said in your first sentence that you did not have unprotected sex and therefore you did not have a risk. Your finger is not a route of transmission and HIV is not able to infect outside the body. You had no risk and do not need a test for what you described in your post.

how about abrasion caused by her clitoral piercing? it is a contaminated sharp object. wouldn't the small amount of blood on the abrasion coming from capillaries be prone to infection? there is vaginal fluid blood contact in vagina caused by a contaminated sharp object before entering vagina. this fits the risk definition in many sexual health sites.
