Just a concern please, I usually eat the dead skin around my fingernail, it is something I do when I get stress, I had this fresh skin tear beside my index and after like 12 hours I did fingering for unknown girl for about 1 to 2 minutes and i don't know whether this can transmit HIV

the skin tear is not bleeding

Not an HIV concern.

HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions; therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.

HIV is transmitted by;
Unprotected penetrative anal and/or vaginal sex
Sharing works with other IV drug users
Mother to child
