HIV from Frottage with Cut

I am a male who engaged in frottage and mutual masturbation with another male. Before the encounter, we discussed our status and he said he was "clear" of all STDs. We began our experience with vigorous grinding while clothed, progressing to penis touching, finally ejaculation via masturbation. I do not believe that any of his fluid was sprayed onto me.

However, after he departed, I discovered a fair amount of blood in my underwear and realized that I had caused an abrasion to my penis during the vigorous grinding. The abrasion is just beneath my penis head, covered by my cut foreskin.

My question - if I had been sprayed with his semen and if he had HIV - would the abrasion make me more susceptible to HIV or does this count as simply frottage/grinding/masturbation with no risk? I've read several places where Teak and others say PENETRATION is required, but I guess an abrasion under my foreskin where it's moist concerned me.

Thanks for your help!

You never had an exposure.

Thanks Teak -

So even if pre-ejaculate or semen went onto my penis, where it settled in the moist environment under my foreskin - and then was absorbed into the new abrasion, that is not one of the three methods of transmissions above.

You never had an exposure in any of the situations you've provided.

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

I should add that we were completely naked during the frot and ejaculations.
