You had no risk. This is not how HIV is spread. HIV can only infect INSIDE the body, which is why an unprotected penis inside a vagina or anus is a risk as well as sharing drug needles with infected users. Nothing else you can make up in your head is a risk. Move on with your day.

this section is for HIV only,  not all std/sti. you were at no risk from a fist bump. the only ways for HIV transmission in adults would be unprotected vaginal, or unprotected anal sex, and sharing needles/syringes for IV use. zero risk, now you can get some rest.

so hiv is not transmitted this way by me fist bump a lady with a ring on her finger even doe i dont know the person or her status ?
read what I said once more. I've already answered your question, her status is irrelevant. your anxiety or anything you add will not chance your zero risk from this incident.
You asked that question before.
what if i had a cut on my finger and she had a cut and we fist pump with the ring a both finger cut will i get hiv this way or no ?
you've been told how it is transmitted. I also said anything you add will not change it.
when you said will not chance your zero risk from this incident what  did you mean by that did not understand you when u said that ?
I mean you're not at risk for HIV.
