Peeps answered Sunday June 1 2008, 4:58 am: It is very common for tiny tears to occur on the vaginal wall when being fingered because it is so fragile and fingernails are pretty rough. This being said, it's possible to contract various STD/STIs from an encounter of this nature. It really isn't as "unlikely" as others have said either so please don't let their ignorance sway you into believing you're safe.
Among the risks, herpes (HSV-1 or HSV-2) and genital warts (HPV) are probably the most likely. I know HPV can live under the fingernails and herpes is so easily spread that many people with coldsores even end up having sores on their fingertips at some point. (Just as a side-note, if you had the Gardasil vaccination it does not mean you cannot get other strains of HPV. The vaccine only helps guard against four strains while there are over a hundred.)
Along with the STD issues you have to think of the dirt and grime many people have on their fingertips and under their nails. That coupled with the natural small tears in the vagina means an increased risk of yeast and bacterial infections. Yeast infections are mainly just bothersome while bacterial infections can lead to some serious complications later in life.
In short, yes, you can definately contract STDs and STIs through this activity. When it comes to sexual encounters, you are always putting yourself at risk in some way if you think of it. You always should weigh the consequences of possible actions before jumping into things to further prepare yourself in case disaster arises.
I wish you well and I hope I've helped clear some things up for you. If you have any further questions regarding this subject, please feel free to ask me :) [ Peeps's advice column | Ask Peeps A Question ]

He would have to be bleeding in some amount, or have some form of infectious material on him somehow.
Its actually far more likely that a guy would get an STD that way than give one.
orphans answered Thursday May 29 2008, 9:54 pm: if he touches himself with an std first, and then touches you. or if he has an std such as aids, and he has a bleeding cut on his finger then you could get it.
its not very likely, but it is somewhat possible [ orphans's advice column | Ask orphans A Question ]
