Syphilis question

The situation:
I am male. I fingering lady‘s vagina without inserting my finger into her vagina, she also has her pant on all the time. Even though she has her pant on but I found that my finger has the smell of vaginal fluid. So I am worry that when she got wet, and the vaginal fluid seeped into her pant causing my finger touched her vaginal fluid directly. If she has syphilis will I be infected?

You can get NO std's through fingering and fingering through pants? None. Zero risk

But her pants were so thin that my fingers came into contact with her vaginal fluid (Bevause here’s smell of vaginal fluid on my finger), The fingering process takes about 1 minute
no risk means no risk from fingering. It wasn't a risk. Fingering is not a risk. Ever. This answer isn't going to change.
And you fingered her through pants. ZERO risk.
Why fingering is zero risk? Is it possible that if the syphilis (exist in the vaginal fluid) is rubbed through my middle finger skin and go into my middle finger and then get syphilis? I found there’s smell of ‘vagina’ on my middle finger when I finish the fingering but I can’t see the fluid, so Iam worry that the syphilis (exist in the vaginal fluid) is rubbed through my middle finger and go into my middle finger during this ONE MINUTE fingering, and then get syphilis.
NOTE:
1. The fingering lasted a minute
2.The female wore underwear and pajama pants, but the underwear and pajama pants were unusually thin, that’s why my finger has the smell of her vaginal
Iam very nervous about this……
You fingered someone through pants. Okay, ya. You can't get a sexually transmitted disease through pants, jama or otherwise. Second, fingering isn't actually sex. The skin of the finger is very different than genital skin. No one gets std's from fingering.
Thank you for answering me, but I wonder why I can’t find any sources or experts said that fingering can’t get syphilis on internet, I’ve been searching this question on the internet so long time but couldn’t find anything, that’s why I’m so anxious….
Where is this conclusion get from….. I'm not questioning your answers. I'm just too anxious that scare every detail…
Your anxiety is over the top. You didn't touch a sore. You touched her pajama pants. If you can't have normal relations that are no risk like fingering without a freak out, you need psychological help. Anxiety is a true disorder that debilitates us and causes us to not live life like healthy individuals. This is where you are at. You need to seek psychological help. Counseling to deal with anxiety, distress tolerance skills like dbt and maybe medication.

While syphilis is a skin to skin contact issue, 1. you did not have skin to skin. Stop thinking you did through someone's pants. That's just not rational. (again, anxiety distorting your thinking). 2. genital to genital? We'll talk. Finger to pajama pants to a sore you don't know is there (likely isn't) . . . again, irrational thinking.

See a doctor for anxiety.
I agree with all of this. Skin to skin means oral to genital, genital to genital, genital to anal.

It does not mean hand, back, arm, leg, chest.

Also, she had pants on. That isn't skin to skin, and you can't "finger" someone with clothes on.

You've asked about syphilis in the past. The only way you'd get syphilis is by oral, vaginal or anal sex. That's it. See a doctor about your anxiety.
Thank you I learned a lot.
Iam sorry that I have One last question:

Even though I don’t have skin to skin, but there is still vaginal fluid on my middle finger when I rubbing her (I said there is vaginal fluid because my middle finger has the smell of her vagina).

Her vaginal fluid on my middle finger has the Possibility Exist Syphilis?And means I directly rubbing syphilis? A potential way that I rubbed syphilis into my “middle finger—body” (Syphilis rubbed/goes into body and cause I get syphilis)?

I am more worried about the danger of vaginal fluid or something else (that makes my finger has the smell of her vagina) on my finger…

Note: I only use middle finger to rube her.
            The fingering rubbing lasted a minute

I trying to tell myself that fingering has zero risk to get syphilis…..
Please listen to me.

You didn't have vaginal fluid on your finger because she had pants on. You may have felt dampness, but STIs do not go through clothing.

You didn't "rub" syphilis.

Syphilis infects mucous membranes. This is the thin, moist skin - the mouth, the genitals, the anus, the eyes, and the inside of the nose. Your finger is not a mucous membrane. The skin on your finger is too thick for syphilis to infect.

You didn't get syphilis from this. You couldn't get syphilis from this.

You get syphilis from oral, vaginal or anal sex, or unclothed, direct, heavy rubbing of genitals together.

You didn't do those things, so you didn't get syphilis.

The vagina has a smell, as does the penis. It doesn't mean anything.

We can't say it any other way.
