Concerned about possible exposure and risk

I did something with someone 9 days ago that I had just met and now I am worried about my potential risks. After much kissing I put my finger in his anus while he masturbated-and to the best of my knowledge there were no cuts or nicks on my finger. What is my potential risk for being infected with HIV if he was positive? Also, if there were cuts/nicks I could not see would that increase my risk. Thanks for your time.

Thanks for your response. I went to the STD clinic/testing site in my town and they said in all their years of working with this they HAVE never seen a single case of HIV from fingering or rimming. They confirmed that rimming is much more likely to transmit Hep or other parasites. They did a rapid test-which was NEGATIVE-although that wouldn't detect something so recent. They also did the test that looks for the virus and I will get the results in 2 weeks. I hope it is all ok.

Thanks again. The HIV clinic in my town is who I was talking about when they said that fingering is a risk.

Thanks again. The reason I am worried is because I called my local health clinic/testing location and they said there was a risk involved in fingering.

Without any cuts the risk is zero. If there were visible, sizable, bleeding cuts/wounds there would be a very low theoretical risk (perhaps zero) - but you would have known if there such cuts/wounds.
