transmission of hiv through contaminated towel.

i went to a massage parlour. a towel was placed beneath me and i was given a body massage. Now the towel has spots in it which may have been contaminated with semen by previous hand jobs done.I was given a back massage which implies that my penis is in contact with the contaminated towel.Now what if the contaminated semen of an hiv person comes in contact with my penis and if it had gone through my urethra inside my body. Do hiv gets transmitted in this way.

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

100% no way. Impossible. Hiv becomes inactive almost immediately outside the body.
