I had a lesbian experience where my partner fingered herself and then me
Am I at risk for hiv?
Brief Answer:
Please don't worry! There is no risk for HIV.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Based on your history, I think you shouldn't worry because there is no risk to get HIV. Fingering is considered a negligible risk for acquiring HIV. You should know that HIV cannot live outside the body more than just a few seconds.
Furthermore, body fluids must enter the bloodstream directly or through a mucous membrane after sexual intercourse (vagina or anus) for HIV transmission to occur. But in this situation, you can get some STI screening done like chlamydia, gonorrhea, HSV and syphilis.
I hope my answer helps you. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Please don't worry, I emphasize again that masturbation and fingering (her vaginal fluids entered) are mostly safe from HIV because HIV cannot sustain outside the body for more than just a few seconds.
