Am I ok? Really worried

I fingered a stripper about a week back. There are no cuts sores or lesions. But the heat in my apt went out and my fingers were really dry and I had a few torn cuticles at the side which were really dry. I did come into contact with vaginal fluid with my fingers. What is my risk? Should I get tested to relieve anxiety. What test should I take at the earliest possible instant to confirm non infection. If anybody can get back to me I will really appreciate it.

Hey there,
You have no reason to worry at all. I am not a doctor of any sort but i am worried about my own STD risks and ended up reading every single thread here so i can assure you that you described a zero risk exposure.
Forget it completely

Yeah, but lot of websites give conflicting info from no risk to negligible risk to low risk. They keep talking about intact skin. What is intact skin? Guess everyone has a few torn cuticles in their fingers which are dried out.

I say this from experience, DO NOT READ TOO MUCH ON THE INTERNET. This stuff can drive you insane. the information isn't necessarily  incorrect, but there's also a low risk of get hit by a thunder light, but you don't see people worrying about that.
In reality there's nothing that could be 100% or 0% but you can get close enough, and your risk was CLOSE ENOUGH to 0%. I wouldn't worry at all, for your own peace of mind you can go see a doctor and he'll tell you the same thing. Hearing it from a professional will definitly help you relax

Hi,

I understand what you are saying. but it is always in the back of the mind. Moreover there is flu going around here and I got sick the very next day to the incident. I did consult a clinician stating the case a week after.She examined me and recommended against testing and asked me to take rest for the flu. I am getting better. But could'nt keep wondering whether the flu is a coincidence. I am kicking the flu though.
