Fingering and Menstrual Blood

Hi,

About 12 hours ago I fingered a girl I knew through a friend [therefore, of unknown status]. I know fingering is not considered an HIV risk, however, I think my scenario merits consideration.

I fingered her in a dark room and when I took my hands out, although they were moist, I thought nothing of it and went to sleep. I only noticed the next morning a bit of dried blood on my and and marks on the clothes and sheets.

The two fingers I used to finger her had a few non-bleeding hang-nails or scrapes - but ones that would still sting if you rubbed antiseptic ointment on them.

Please let me know if I should be concerned, and if not, why not?

Thank you community !
