Is There A Chance For Transfer Of Vaginal Fluids Through Nails?

Hi, I had oral sex with a lady. I just put my fingers in her private area for less then half a minute and removed the fingers. I have the habit of biting nails. I am now scared if there was a transfer of vaginal fluids into my body through my nails. I tested after 80 days of exposure and it came as non reactive.ls there a reason for me to be still worried? what are the chances of HIV transmission through fingering?
I am 27 years old,5.10 and 84 kilos

Thank you for the query.the method described by you usually does not transmit HIV.But it is always better to have good habits of not nail biting which shows you are anxious person, relax,meditate.also you have to keep in mind there are other diseases which can be transmitted by this method like diarrhea,typhoid,cholera etc etc.So maintain personnel hygiene.It is better to have protected intercourse like using condoms if either of them have multiple partners.
