HIV worries
Hello,
I would like to start this post by saying thank you for all the support you guys provide in this community. The reason why I'm reaching out to you is because i had an encounter with two transexual escorts about 12 days ago, where the exposure was deep protected oral (i was the giver) and rimming/fingering where i was the receiver. Also i had exposure to all of their semen on my chest . My biggest worries and anxiety driven situation right now comes from the fact that while i was being fingered i m not sure if they had some of their semen on their hand since they had just ejaculated on my chest less than a minute ago before starting to finger me. Fingering lasted about 2-3 minutes and it felt little bit painful since one of them had really long sharp nails which concerned since i have prolapse external hemorrhoids.
My question is considering all the details i have provided, What would be my risk of acquiring HIV from this episode? Specifically focusing on the potential exposure to contaminated fingers with semen being used to finger me.
I did an HIV RNA yesterday but i m having a lot of anxiety over this , other than that no other symptoms at this time.

The only risks for HIV in adults are:
1) Having unprotected anal or vaginal sex, or
2) sharing intravenous needles with IV drug users.
You cannot get HIV or any STD through hands or fingers - not yours, not anybody else's - EVEN IF those hands/fingers have blood or fluid on them and touch your genitals or cuts. This includes your anus with hemorrhoids.
If you do not engage in any of the activities I mentioned above with someone HIV+ or whose HIV status is unknown to you, you will NEVER have to worry about getting HIV. There is no information you could add about this event that would make it a risk for HIV.
You had ZERO risk for HIV and you do not need to test.

Thanks for your response CurfewX, is it zero risk even if my external hemorrhoids potentially got injured due to the long sharp nails?
If you read my post, the answer to the ONLY risks for HIV is right there.
There are no other "secret" risks that we're not telling you about.
