Fingered a girl with cut on finger

Two nights ago I fingered a girl in the vagina. I had a small cut at the base of my finger from an infection that I had on my finger. I have since had no symptoms. Does this put me at risk of catching HIV. I am very worried and would appriecate any help. thanks

in general though can an opening at the cuticle be a passage to the bloodstream no?

One more quick question, do you think that a cut on finger would be more risky/ the same risk as a damaged/infected/torn cuticle for HIV transmission or are they both fairly miniscule?

This was my first and only sexual contact (excluding kissing) and I'm confident that the girl in question hasn't got HIv but sometimes when I think of the rash I worry but I think I'll be ok......

OK Teak. What is your opinion on the rash though? Also would HIV and/or some abnormalities show up on FBC?

On further diagnosis it was more of an opening at my cuticle from an almost healed infected finger?not really a cut. Does this put me at more/less risk?
