HIV transmissions
Hi
i need your concern on this......i have a friend who had sex with a women having HIV positive. during sexual act he used condom properly .but before starting sex he put the fingers in vaginal to stimulate the women before an act and one of the finger had small damaged skin around the nail part ( skin was damaged when he washed clothes, with no any blood at all ) my question is. is this person considered to be potentially at a risk of getting HIV...? thanks.

Zero risk. Any activity outside the vagina is classified as air contact and fingering is air contact even though you think for obvious reasons that it isn't.
HIV is instantly inactivated in air so it can't infect, otherwise all of America would be infected from toilets, workplace cuts and sporting events. You haven't read of anyone getting it this way because it doesn't happen and it doesn't happen because it can''t happen.
It would be front page news if some baby got it in a public changing room or toilet or playground equipment.
Only sex risks are unprotected vaginal or anal which you didn't have so zero risk to you.

Condoms are the most effective way to prevent HIV and STDs.
PrEP is used by people with high risk to prevent HIV infection.
Can I get HIV from surfaces, like toilet seats?
Can you get HIV from casual contact, like hugging?
Frequency of HIV testing depends on your risk.
Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) may help prevent HIV infection.
