Fingered a Bloody Vagina

Hi

Please help me with this dilemma! :(
i fingered a female at my halloween party. She just had her period so she still had blood/drying blood in her vagina.

Now i normally wouldnt mind but 2 things make me feel uneasy.
1) i knew this girl was sexually active, but uses condoms every time and doesnt do oral sex.
2)i had a peeled cuticle on my finger earlier that day, i dont think it bled but it made it very tender and sensitive.

Would i be at risk of any HIV transmission? Would that risk change if it was a deeper would such as a scratch but bleeding as stopped and with or without bloodclotting?

I talked to her today, she said she's never been tested, should i trust her word that she's been protected and clean or should i worry?

I havent seen anyone with this exact situation.. this transmission should nonexistent and do not need to seek a doctor (even with this "extreme" scenario with a "norisk" contact). i think its because im paranoid but i could really use your opinion to get rid of my doubts.

HIV is not transmitted via fingering as you have already be told. There is nothing more to add to your question.

Sorry to bother the thread, but I would really like to ask for a bit more detailed explaination regarding why its not a method of transmission even in an extreme case such as mine (menstrual blood+vaginal secretions in contact with peeledcuticle/wound)?

Again, sorry to bother, but there was just something in my mind that cant let this go without asking this. May even help readers to may have encounted such a case.

Thanks again

sir, i just read your bio and i find your comment very reassuring. I really hope so because  to my knowledge, blood + cut/wound on finger = possible transmission + paranoia = cant sleep.

You were never at risk of contracting HIV from fingering.
