HIV risk from finger cut

Hi - I'm really scared at the moment. Stupidly went to massage parlour - and during massage, cut my finger. I inserted finger into her vagina a few times and blood was actually bleeding from my finger. Only realised after.

Am I at risk of HIV?

Thanks teak. I know you are busy answering questions. Man, you really help us alot.

I have one last question to ease my mind.

"finger cut/bleeding" vaginal insertion wont cause HIV
but unprotected Penis(NO cuts/bleeding) penetration vaginal can get HIV.
<----- WHY?

To clarify -my finger must have scratched something (it was dark) and think it was side of the massage bed. I inserted into vagina not realising, but then when the lights were back on, I realised blood was coming from my finger.

I admittedly, did not insert too far in, but i did feel slight stinging.

Be gratfeul if you could confirm that this is not of significant HIV risk.

I do not how you can not realized that your finger has cut and after this you inserted to her vagina . anyway, it is very hard to transmit by this way and we do not recommend to get test for this kind of exposure.

Just for peace of mind you can go for test and you can expect negative result

Best of luck
