Finger Lick and hiv?
So here is my question...2 weeks ago I was with a woman of unknown status. It was a brief encounter with no intercourse. My concern is that I began to rub her clitoris with my finger and noticed I needed some lubrication, so I licked my finger that I had begun rubbing her with. I believe I repeated the action once more (almost immediately to apply more saliva as lubrication). Again my rubbing was isolated only to her clitoris and outer labia at this point ( I did spread the labia, however, in order to rub the clitoris). Because the clitoris needed lubrication I am assuming there was very little vaginal fluid in that area at the time, but it could have been. I later penetrated her with my fingers, but never placed my hands in or near my mouth. My fingers were in good condition with no cuts, scrapes or abrasions. Assuming that the woman was positive, is there any chance that I could have got hiv through the twice licking of my finger or the fingering its self. I am experiencing a high level of anxiety because I haven't ever been in this situation before. So I guess my question is, one is there any chance I was exposed or could have contracted hiv and secondly, do I need to test for this situation. Can I move on? Thank you for your help in this situation.

Let me reassure you. No risk of HIV infection at all whatsoever. Your saliva woudl protect you as it neutralises the virus in the case that she was positive.
No need to worry, no need to be tested.
