Hello Assuming that your finger was intact ( no cut or wound on finger). Large multi-institutional studies have indicated that the risk of HIV transmission following exposure to vaginal or cervical secretion even,if female is HIV infected ( documented ) on intact skin is not possible . In your case it was just for 10 seconds , so no chance of getting HIV infection by you with this way. Don't take any stress . But if you are in any type of serious stress then get in rapid nucleic acid amplification test for HIV confirmation ( pcr , rna P 24). Since in your case episode was of last year , so ELISA test would be the best for you for HIV confirmation.
