transmission through open blister?

transmission through open blister?

Hello,

A couple of days ago I "made out" with a girl who I did not know. I'm concerned because I had a 1cm x .5cm open blister on my thumb. I did not touch the girl's genitals, but I did rub her arms and legs for an extended period of time. We also held hands (I held her hand with the hand which had the blister on it). Am I at risk of any kind of infection (HIV, HEP, etc.)? Thank you.

hiv is not transmitted through casual contact.  it doesnt just seep in and out of one's skin.

Thank you for your reply. I didn't have direct contact with the girl's genitals, but I did rub her legs all of the way up to where her legs met her pelvic bone. Maybe there was vaginal secretion in this area? If so, could I get HIV or HEP if secretion touched my open blister? Thanks again.
