chance of getting infection with open skin

Hi,

I have a small cut on my finger because i recently touched a hot pot. Earlier there was skin filled with water and today it bursted.

I was desperate and approached a prostitute.
i started putting finger in her vagina and soon realised that i hace this opne skin. I pulled back my finger probably within a minute. And stopped there, no sexual intercourse. But since then i am worried if there is any chance of contacting hiv.

Please advice.
i am an indian lving in switzerland and the girl was probably african.

Nobody ever gets HIV or other STDs by fingering, hand-genital contact, etc. In the 30 years of the known HIV/AIDS epidemic, with millions and millions of infected people, nobody has caught it from an exposure like this -- regardless of wounds or cuts on the fingers. You won't be the first!

So no worries. You don't need testing, and if you have a regular sex partner, you can continue your normal relations without putting your partner at risk.

Best wishes and happy new year.
