Possible Exposure

Hi there

I am slightly worried about a recent encounter,

I had protected sex with the same guy twice in the same night nearly 1 month ago and the condoms did not break and stayed over the tip of the penis until removed after the sex.and in between with the condom removed have rubbed my penis against his anus but did not enter him unprotected as I never have unprotected sex. Now I know there is a lot of people on here that worry about these things but I just wanted to ask if the rubbing against the anus with no condom could put me at possible risk for HIV?

I have came down with a bad dose the past week and have been given antibiotics, also notices a small rash on wrists and just over pubic hair but this has since cleared, any info would be greatly appreciated thanks.

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

Thanks for that, it was just the unprotected rubbing/frottage part I was worried about.
