How long can HIV survive in one drop of blood that got stuck under my fingernails? If after 15-20 minutes I use the same finger to finger my anus is there a risk of HIV?

Depends. If that blood drop is still wet at the time of fingering, and if it contains HIV, yes, you have some risk, theoretically. But, for guiding you properly, you should describe your concern in detail.  Better, through phone consult. Best !
