HIV from being fingered?

Hi, on school My friend tried to finger me to joke
At that moment I was wearing pants.
But I'm thinking that what if my friend fingered anyone else before me and than he fingered me with pants?
Does that's a even a risk for me? Even through pants? I was wore pants and he fingered my anus through pants.
Please help me. Thanks.

As has been said, and really it's hard to keep repeating it, fingering is NOT a risk. No matter what.

Also from reading your original post, this was through pants. Nothing transmits through clothing.
I completely understand it.
Thank you very much for helping!

I have no idea what you imagine might have happened, but it is physically impossible to finger anyone's anus through pants.

In any case, the only risks for HIV in adults are:
1) Having unprotected (no condom) penetrative anal or vaginal sex, OR
2) Sharing IV drug equipment with other IV drug users.

You can't get HIV or any STDs from a finger.

Thanks for answering.
I know that we can't get HIV from a finger even with cut on it.
But on that scenario I described, if that person fingered anyone else before me, if we say that person before me had HIV, does that transmitts HIV to me??
Re-read the only two risks for HIV and tell me if you did either of those activities.
You said you know you can't get HIV from a finger, and that should be the end of your worries.
I understand.
But I read that HIV transmitts through some of body fluids.
I'm don't have health anxiety or OCD, but I was just wonder that does that scenario I described, since he fingered anyone else before me, does that cause transmitting body fluids from anus to me and cause HIV?
For me it was through pants.
Getting fingered through pants is physically impossible.

Getting HIV or any STDs from a finger - no matter what is on that finger -  is impossible.

Read this post over and over until it sinks in.
I understand it completely.
Thank you for helping me.
Have a good day Ms.CurfeX.
