Very vigorous fingering with finger cut/bleeding

I know these questions have been asked many times before. BUT, what about if the fingering is very vigorous with a cut/bleeding, which was in my case. There was no bleeding in my case, even after the vigorous fingering but i did have a cut. But does very vigorous fingering change anything ? I went to a prostitute.

Thanks u . Sorry for the late reply . But u said that fingering is not a risk for HIV transmission because of exposure to air . But how is there any exposure to air while fingering ?

I can't get into the discussion of everyone's fingering technique other than to say HIV is hard to get because it is a fragile virus that can not infect easily so has specific mechanisms that allow it to only transmit in the ways listed. Reread about the 40 and accept that nothing you can add will make your situation a risk.
alright thank u

Since you have read many answers before you have already read the answer. There is no metering of vigorousness required to figure if a person is safe. No risk=no disease so it is time for you to move on from HIV fears.

okay thank you
I shall leave behind my HIV fears
I try my best
You had no risk of HIV and are so safe that you don't need to test.
HIV is instantly inactivated in air which means it is effectively dead so it can't infect from fingering. It doesn't matter if you and they were actively bleeding or had cuts at the time either because the HIV is effectively dead.  
Only adult risks are unprotected penetrating vaginal or anal sex or sharing needles that you inject with but you didn't do that so you had no risk. Fingering is not penetrating anal or vaginal activity and has no risk. This sentence is all you need to know to protect yourself against HIV.
Even with blood, lactation, cuts, rashes, burns, etc the air does not allow inactivated virus to infect from fingering activities. The above HIV science is 40 years old and very well established so nothing you can add will make your situation a risk.
No one got HIV from fingering activities in 40 years of HIV history, so likely no one will in the next 40 years of your life either.
