Please help me

Today I fingered a gay guy. I fingered him with a lot oil and water based lube.  After I fingered him, I found there was a little little hangnail under my nail. I tore it a little before I met him. It was not bleeding but I can still notice little fresh meat under my finger. I checked the information online it indicates that the rectum fluids contain more virus. Am I in a risk? Do I need PEP? Could you please help me?

No, you did not have a risk.  You did not have unprotected sex

Thank you very much. But the NHS website said if the finger has cut no matter how small it is, it carries risk. And they said the anal fluid has more virus. I am totally freak out. I am really not in a risk? Sorry for troubling you

You have not had a theoretical risk either,  Fingering is simply not a risk and there is no need to be dramatic about it.

Theoretically I have risk but in real life no one has that. Is this your meaning? I am so worried about it

You have not had a risk.  No one has ever been infected from fingering and you will not be the first,
