Brief Answer: Can get tested for HIV Detailed Answer: Hi Thanks for posting your query. Though just fingering does not pose you at much of a risk, but there is a possible if there was any skin discontinuation on the finger. Thus the first step would be to get ELISA test done for HIV. Next course of treatment can be decided after the report of this test. There are other sets of tests available too but are done if negative ELISA does not remove your doubt or your ELISA comes back positive. Thus you need to visit your doctor and get a prescription for this test. Hope it helps. Let me know if I can assist you further. Dr Vaishalee
