I've been searching non-stop..I need some help

Hey, hopefully you guys can help.  I am freaking out and need some clear answers.  I'm not sure if I was exposed to HIV

I fingered a girl 2 weeks ago, not sure if she is HIV+.  During the act, I put my fingers in my mouth. I then realized later that i had a little bit of blood on the corner of my nails.  She told me she bled just a little bit since she hadn't been fingered for a while...Assuming the worse (her having HIV), am I at risk of exposure?

I have been freaking out for the past 2 weeks and read everywhere that I need to wait 3 months to get a test...I can't be like this for 2.5 more months!

You never had a risk and didn't need testing.

Oral activities incl. sex never pose HIV risk, and HIV immediately becomes inactive/uninfectious if it comes to contact with the air.

even if there is blood? I've been reading that it takes a couple of minutes for the virus to die once in contact with air...The act of putting my fingers in my mouth didnt take long...

It will first shed the outer shield, which otherwise makes it possible for infection and eventually die.

ok thanks for the info! I know we dont like "what if" questions...
but, what if (worse case scenario) I had a cut in my mouth? Would the answer change?

No that would not change the answers.
