Welcome to our Forum. this is a frequent question. I'm please to assure you that IF your partner has HIV (which statistically is doubtful unless there is something you haven't mentioned), there is NO risk for acquiring HIV from masturbating her ("fingering") her. this is the case even if she has (menstrual) blood present or if you have a sore on your hand, finger or cuticle problems- still zero risk. There has NEVER been a case in which HIV has been transmitted from person to person through masturbation. This is the reason that even otherwise rather cautious and conservative groups such as the CDC have stated that mutual masturbation (including fingering) with an HIV infected person is a NO risk event.
If you have fingered an HIV infected person, I can unequivocally say there is no reason for concern, no reason for testing.
I hope this reply is helpful to you. Take care. EWH
