Can I contact HIV

Hi

I foolishly went to a massage parlour in toronto to get a nude massage. There was no penetration .I was not wearing a condom and the our part of my penis might have touched the outer part of her vagina. Though I am not sure of it. I am waiting for 25 days to get the test done.  This fear is giving me panic attacks . Kindly advice.

HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions; therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.

HIV is transmitted by;
Unprotected penetrative anal and/or vaginal sex
Sharing works with other IV drug users
Mother to child

You never had an exposure. An exposure requires unprotected penetration.
