From what you have described I think there is almost no possibility of an hiv infection, but if you are still worried after this, ask the same question to an infectious disease expert. Your anxiety about hiv may be simply masking your anxiety or reaction to the sexual episode, and what it means in your life, and what you may do in the future.
