5mm wide 2mm deep finger cut and fingering on unknow HIV status woman

Hi Experts.

I am sorry if my English is bad.

I am 27 years old male from Srilankan and working and living in Guadalajara, Mexico. (My hiv status is negative as i did my test like one month back. test was done for regular yearly check up and i never had sex with anyone in past 1.5 years)

Two days back I had my second date with a Mexican girl and on the same night we had protected oral sex and vaginal sex for 5-10 mins(after 1.5 years). I am sure it is protected sex because condom was not broken any point of action . Before protected oral and vaginal sex I did fingering for her for 1-5 mins with my finger where in the finger i had 5 mm wide and 2 mm deep cut from a knife from kitchen while cutting vegetable. This cut was happened like 5-6 hours before i did finger on my girl and during fingering or after fingering i didnt see any blood on the wound or in my finger but only her vaginal fluid.

I have read a lot of questions and answers and blogs on this topic and 99% of them said that HIV will not pass in this way and it need access to blood stream but my situation does not seems to be like the one people discussed there. They do say superficial cuts on finger and fingering with the same finger very extreme low risk (theoretically) to almost zero. And for hiv transmission in this way need to have big open wound like the one it needs stitches or medical attention.

Now what driving me crazy is, that my 5-6 hours old cut on finger which is 5mm wide to 2mm deep is consider as superficial cut or it is deep cut in medical terms. Yes, when i cut my finger accidentally it was bleeding for 1-2 mins max and it stopped completely after that and i didnt seek for medical advice since it was normally happens in kitchen.  

It is possible to get hiv in this 5mm wide 2mm deep finger cut and fingering. I cannot ask HIV status of my girlfriend since we are just started to know each other. I dont want to do anything bad with my relationship due to my anxiety on this sexual act.

Practically, if you get a fresh cut that happened this very moment, was really gapping - bleeding profusely and you came in contact with a large amount og infected fluid, the fluid then entered your blood stream to infect you. Well, the odds of you dying from falling of your chair right now is higher than contracting HIV through your  risk. You are okay. No testing needed.

You must have read the advice where 1% say you had a risk on some other site. We are not affiliated with other sites because some use theoretical risks that haven't happened in the 40 years of HIV history.
We rely on the opinions of expert doctors and do not use theoretical risks. You had no risk from oral or fingering, and you are so safe that you don't even need to test.

However if in future you want unprotected vaginal then both of you should test for each other's sake.

Thank you so much for you time and reply. I got the same answer from you as everyone around internet says on different blogs.

my concern is, the cut on my finger mentioned is superficial cut or deep cut. as i mentioned, it is 5mm wide, 2mm deep and it happened 5-6 hours before fingering. when the cut happened it do bleed for 1-2 mins. without any medication except wash hand on running tap water. the cut is looks still fresh but i am not sure it has access to my blood stream now or then the time i was fingering my girlfriend.

I really appreciate your time on my worries.
