Do i need testng??

A few days ago i had sex with a girl, don't know her HIV status. In the beginning i fingered her and then stopped and started to put on the condom.
The problem is that i touched for a few seconds my penis head (urethra) with the same wet finger (bottom side of finger) that i had used to finger her. Is there any chance of infection this way?...or the vaginal fluids that remained on the head maybe were pushed inside my urethra during Protected penetration???...Do i need testing?




                                             Thank you very much for your answer

HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions; therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.

HIV is transmitted by;
Unprotected penetrative anal and/or vaginal sex
Sharing works with other IV drug users
Mother to child

You had no risk and you do not need to test.
