fingering with cut on finger, pleas help

(follow up question)
i am very depress right now about a situation in which i fingered a woman for about a minute or less not remembering that there was a knife cut that was a bit fresh on one of my finger, the cut was a reasonable size that i got the day before. after remembering the cut i started to worry. it was not bleeding at the time i fingered her. the cut looked like it was starting to heal at that time.

Two weeks after i started to have a small headache that lasted for four days that comes on and off about every 5 minutes. after that i started to feel shooting pains running into my hands and feet. i did not have any swollen lymph nodes, fever, sore troth etc.  it feel a bit tingling the first time i felt it then a week after it started to feel a bit painful. it lasted for a month and still going on mostly at my risk. but i don’t feel it as often as i use to. i also started to feel the same pain in my side. i have never felt this way before. i don’t know if this is an early symptoms of HIV.

1)Could i be infected knowing that i was only fingering her for a MINIT or LESS?
2)could these feeling be because i am depress about the situation?
3)if you think i am not infected PLEAS TELL ME WHY? is it the time i spent fingering her?
4) whats the chance of me becoming infected this way in percentage?

thanks for your help!

I can't account for anything since I have not seen your hand.  

Again, all of your symptoms indicate stress/anxiety and not HIV.  

If you need absolute assurance, you'll have to get an antibody blood test in a few weeks.    Also, why don't you speak with her about your concerns?

First of all, you are asking very detailed questions to a non-medical community.  No doctors are here so we can't give you the percentages that you asked for.

From what I've read on this forum, none of your symptons are indicative of HIV.  I'd say that they are more indicative of stress on your part.

All that being said, I doubt very seriously that you have HIV.  Your wound was not fresh - it was a day old and had been clotting.  And, why might you be thinking that this woman had HIV?

And, as per Dr Hook, "Most people don't have STDs (or HIV), thus the odds are in your favor that you were not exposed."  These are his words exactly.
