It's not a symptom of ARS and again you never had an exposure by fingering.

HIV is not transmitted by finger period, doesn't matter if you have pulled cuticles, cuts, abrasions, nicks or scrapes. HIV is not transmitted by fingering.

You could theoretically contract the virus if you had a gaping fresh (as in literally just done it) cut on your finger.

However, in reality, that isnt going to happen. Any existing cuts will have dried up, the blood congealed etc and will not be an effective transmission route for HIV. People simply do not get HIV via fingering.
