The scenario you are entertaining is a "what if" unrealistic option. That being said and if that makes you sleep better, even if the q-tip had some semen on it and the guy before you had hiv, you still had no risk as the virus would have been exposed to air and unable to infect. You had NO RISK. Sleep well.

Why would you assume in the first place that the q-tip was re-used and had semen on it? It doesn't sound realistic. It is a no-risk situation anyway. Move on and enjoy life (and food) in Vietnam.
