help me please, does my situation involves a risk

Thank you for your efforts.

Here's my situation: I've been under stress and anxiety for 9 months. One day, I visited the CSW showcases, without any penetration since I kept my clothes on (especially the panties all the time). The acts I did were finger insertion into the vagina for 3 times (2 to 3 minutes) maximum, since I rinsed my hands with soap. The woman has a child and a husband (according to these words) and only does protected and safe sex. Voilà, no penetration. Maybe she sneezed next to me or even her body touched my panties but it must have been a split second.

My anxiety started when I applied the disinfectant gel to my hands, it burned me in a small cut paper (already healed, from 1 day). In any case, it wasn't on the finger I inserted.

I'd be very grateful if you could tell me if this act involved a risk of HIV or a sexually transmitted disease?

Thanks

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.

If you don't do any of those activities with someone of unknown status, or with someone who is HIV+, you will NEVER have to worry about HIV.

You didn't have any risk for HIV or STDs. You cannot get HIV or STDs through your hand or finger, or by your body just touching someone else's body, no matter what.
