It’s possible, but not likely. Fingering is low-risk safer sex. Here’s a breakdown of the different kinds of risks.

No-risk safer sex includes

masturbation

  •  

mutual masturbation

  •  

cybersex

phone sex

  •  

sharing fantasies

  • No infections can be passed with these kinds of sex.

    Low-risk safer sex includes

kissing

  •  

fondling — manual stimulation, including fingering, of one another

  •  

body-to-body rubbing — frottage, “grinding,” or “dry humping”

  •  

oral sex (even safer with a condom or other barrier)

  •  

playing with sex toys — alone or with a partner

  •  

vaginal intercourse with a latex or internal condom

  •

unprotected vaginal intercourse

  •  

unprotected anal intercourse

  • These behaviors are high risk for chlamydia, gonorrhea, hepatitis B, HIV/AIDS, herpes, HPV, syphilis, and trichomoniasis.
