I am not a medical doctor. From the extensive research I have done, if the cuts on the fingers were open and there was direct contact with vaginal fluids, it is possible for the HIV virus to be transmitted. This cause of transmission would seem unlikely, but possible. If either partner was HIV+, this might be risky behavior, or if positive and they weren't on ARV medications. If either is on PREP, that probably would reduce the likelihood of infection (no known case of transmission yet).If either individual has any indications of infection or is just concerned, then getting tested for the virus would be indicated. Better to know. Speak to a qualified health care professional.
