Brief Answer:
The possibility of getting HIV is very unlikely.

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX

Welcome to HCM.

You had done fingering to women of unknown HIV status than touched your penis so first of all you have to confirm the status of her whether she was positive or not. Even if she is positive the chances of getting HIV are very less likely as your doctor friend said truely so be relaxed and don't worry about that. For any further clarification you can get back to me any time and I will be happy to answer.

Thank You

Brief Answer:
The risk is very unlikely or you can say practically nil.

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX

Welcome back and thanks for follow-up.

The sexual intercourse is the most common route of transmission of HIV but it can be transmitted through other routes also like transfusion of infected blood, contact of infected bodily fluid etc.

The way what you had said is very unusual way for transmission of HIV, so the risk is practically nil in your case. There are no such reported cases also. Don't get worried and move ahead in life happily.
Hope this info was helpful.

Brief Answer:
You can go for test after 3 months.

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX

Welcome back once again.

As such there is no need to get tested but for your mental satisfaction get tested after 3 months to be 100% accurate and confirmative. Don't think much because the risk is very very remote in your case.
