What Are The Chances Of HIV Through A Dried Cut In The Finger?

I am extremely worried as I had a cut on my finger 3 days back which is dry , just that the dried blood was stuck to it on the sides as i did not bother cleaning it after i removed the bandage. I ended up fingering a pay girl for a couple of min after which i realised that I shouldn't be doing it as I had a dried cut. I still want to know the percentage of chances that i would contract HIV? It was a dry wound and it was very small as well. Please help at the earliest

Chances of hiv transmited by this way is less than 0.5 percent. It depends on depth of wound and contact eith blood or not.but generaly it is very rare. So dont worry
