paranoid?  you're kidding, right??

first off...you did not step on semen that was on the ground/floor...geeeeeeeeeeeez.

when hiv is exposed to air (outside the body)...it becomes inactive.

hiv is transmitted through...

unprotected vaginal/anal intercourse
sharing of iv drug works
mother to child

it is Not transmitted through "making out" or stepping in semen.

NO RISK.  hiv does not remain active outside it's host.
