Open Cuts & Sores

Hi there,
I have a question (and I do hope it's not a question that is always asked as I have been trying to do some research).
Recently, I fingered a prostitute. I received a hand job and whilst she was doing that I fingered her for approx. 30secs - 1min. Yes, I understand I shouldn't have done it - bad decision - won't be doing it again. Yes, I understand fully that it rare/high unlikely I would've recieved an STD through this type of sexual act. However, I did notice post the event I had some dry/peeling cuticles and a small slight cut on my finger I used. However, both wounds were for all things considered 'healed'. They'd been around for a day or so already at least and they weren't bleeding, they didn't appear open or fresh, etc.
My questions is at what point is an open wound/peeling dry cuticle considered risky in catching an STD through fingering? I'm assuming it's only risky if the wounds were fresh (ie a couple mins old, bleeding, pussey, open, etc)?
Please help... I have actually been losing sleep over this incident....

Ok - Maybe I should've looked harder. Heaps of respones out there basically saying there is no risk from fingering with a cut, nick, scratches, etc.

That being said though - I've noticed a few responses saying it MAYBE possible if the wound was big enough, fresh enough, deep enough, etc?

For HIV to be passed through this manner (ie fingering) what would the extent of the cut have to be?
