Possible HIV risk

I fingered a girl and after 10 minutes of that with my dry fingers  I wiped the head of my penis. Is there any HIV risk at all?

Once exposed to air that's it. It's a very fragile virus.

NO.

HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions; therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.

HIV is transmitted by;
Unprotected penetrative anal and/or vaginal sex
Sharing works with other IV drug users
Mother to child
