unsure of exposer

My question is, I was working on a Thursday around 10:00am and got a small blood blister on my finger. I poped it soon after. On Friday around 11:00pm I had fingered a girl with that finger, not thinking, the next morning I remembered the blister. I squeezed it 3 or 4 times preety hard and some liquid / blood came out of it. My question, is this considered an open wound and should I be worried about hiv infection if the girl were positive? I do not know if she is or not. I went to the doctor on Monday and they gave me a test, it was negative. Three weeks later I got sick and went to the doctor they swabbed my nose for the flu and the nurse came back in and said it was the flu. What are the odds of cathing the flu at 3 weeks after this insodence?

Fingering is not a risk of HIV, regardless of your blister.

You just caught the flu that is all, it has nothing to do with a symptom HIV.

NOTHING you have described put you at risk for hiv...testing is not warranted.
