Could I have been at risk?

So two days ago, I had a casual encounter that after reading a fair amount of posts I think I maybe over thinking but here goes. So to days back I got fellatio for about 20-30 seconds and also fingered (pretty intensely) a random guy (stranger in passing restroom quickie) so afterwards when mind clarity set back in, I noticed a pin prick sized cut on my finger that I remember from a day or so back, there was however very little residue on my fingers (thumb and forefinger, cut is on the forfinger) a washed hands immediately after vigorously when I noticed the cut. It's literally the size of a pinhead  and was for a day or two before, what are the chances I could have exposed myself to something serious (HIV, HEP A,B,C, etc.) please any feed back would be appreciated. Am I just overreacting? Or should I get tested.

Hello, as you've already read, small cuts and wounds are not a viable entry point for HIV, which is very fragile outside human body, only a fresh, open and actively bleeding cut would pose any risk.

Doctors and epidemiologists around the world overwhelmingly agree that HIV is only transmitted by unprotected vaginal or anal penetrative sex, sharing needles or mother to child. Oral sex and masturbation are not considered risky activities, because there are no reports of people getting HIV by doing them.

However unprotected oral sex might carry a small risk for other STDs, you could ask in the STD Forum if you wish.

Hope this helps.
