you had NO risk from what you described.  hiv is not transmitted outside it's host.  sexually speaking...transmission takes place inside the body, as in the penis being inside the vagina / anus.

I am not a doctor and you will not find a doctor on this forum.  You can pay a fee and post your question on the expert form if you would like, BUT don't waste your money! You were never at risk of getting HIV from what you have descibed. HIV is inactive and unable to infect when outside of its host. You have nothing to worrie about and you do not need testing for HIV.
