You had absolutely NO RISK.

HIV cannot live outsides its host! It does NOT matter in the least that it touched your penis. The virus is NOT spread in that manner.
You do NOT need to be tested again.

I repeat........YOU NEVER HAD A RISK.

I think it would be very difficult to catch HIV that way. But if you are freaked out then go get tested. The test is most accurate when you get it 3-6 months after exposure.
