Can HIV Be Contracted Through Contact With Another's Vaginal Fluid?

His finger were dried before he put them in to my vagina. We had no oral sex. She was very dry and my husband used his saliva to lube her. Is there any chanche for me getting hiv if she was hiv+?
Brief Answer:
Unlikely to get HIV
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
HIV spreads if there is direct contact of patient's body fluid with your blood (e.g through wound etc). Now in your case, as this did not happen, it is highly unlikely that you will suffer from HIV through this route.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
Wishing you good health!

Thanks. I read that hiv is a very fragile virus that dies in seconds, at most minutes after coming in contact with air?
So when my husband took out his finger from the other women the possible virus started to get weak and died? 10 min before he started fingering me. In the 10 min he did also do much touching on both of our bodies so that also dried his fingers from the other womens vaginal fluids.

Brief Answer:
Unlikely to get infection.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
According to CDC, only certain body fluids like blood, semen (cum), pre-seminal fluid (pre-cum), rectal fluids, vaginal fluids, and breast milk from a person who has HIV can transmit HIV. These fluids must come in contact with a mucous membrane or damaged tissue or be directly injected into the bloodstream (from a needle or syringe) for transmission to occur. In cases like yours, it is highly unlikely for infection to occur because there was no direct transmission.
