scraping

Hello doctors. On 1. Oct I went back to China and took a bath in public bathhouse. After bath i got massage and scraping(a Chinese traditional treatment). Unfortunately one acne on my shoulder was scraped broken and the massager also touched my perineum and balls. I had a strong anxiety about HIV, so I am asking:
1. How much risk is the behavior?
2. How accurate will be the HIV test, if I take a rapid HIV test tomorrow.
3. Will the result be different based on various generation tests.
Thank you very much. waiting online

No risk.

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

I really appreciate your rapid reply. So even if my broken acne bled a little, there is still no risk?
