Clarification if possible

I've read a ton of posts regarding compromised skin being a sufficient or in many posts insufficient means for HIV to enter a blood stream. Is anyone able to answer why a 3 hour old cut which is exposed to vaginal secretions would not pose a risk? A break in the skin say on a penis is a risk so why wouldn't it apply for a fresh finger cut? I get once the virus is exposed to air it dies, but it's not exposed to air while a finger is inside of a vagina. Straight from the host into the opening omnthe finger. Thank you.

It doesn't much matter if there are cuts or not.  The fact is that no one has ever gotten infected with HIV via fingering - not once.  Most people get infected by having unprotected, penetrative anal or vaginal sex.  Don't do that, and you'll never have to worry about HIV.

Thank you Mam very much for your help. Anxiety of all of this makes me lose touch with reality I suppose. Thank you again.

HIV does not enter the blood stream via superficial cuts or scrapes (wounds that don't require medical attention).  If you had a wound sufficient to allow HIV transmission, you would NOT be fingering anyone.

Thank you CurfewX. Is there a reason as to why it could enter via a cut on the genital but not a finger? Certainly not questioning your answer, just truly trying to get a better understanding.
