Concerned about lap dance

This happened recently and while I am confident that I didn't contract anything from the interaction, my brain still likes to freak out.

I received a private lap dance at a strip club that consisted of frottage or "outercourse." At no point did my clothes ever come off and she always kept her bottom on, though it was just a thong. During the dance the stripper ended up re-adjusting my penis so it was pointed upward and the tip slightly out of my pants. She continued to dance on me and grind with her covered vagina making contact with my jeans/tip that was exposed.

There was definitely some vaginal fluid though it was on her thong and didn't directly come into contact with the tip of my penis. Also, there was no penetration at all, I made sure to specify and flat out asked her.

Am I at risk for HIV? Do I need worry or get tested from this experience?

Thanks in advance for the replys.

CurfewX made it very clear why you had no risk for HIV and with no risk there is no need to test.

No unprotected anal/vaginal penetration = no risk, no matter what.  HIV transmission only happens inside the body, when a penis is inside a vagina or anus unprotected, never outside of the body.

Thank you for the reply. So there is no reason to go in and get tested then?

You had no risk and would be a waste of time.

HIV is instantly inactivated in air and also in saliva which means it is effectively dead so it can't infect from touching, external rubbing or oral activities. It doesn't matter if you and they were actively bleeding or had cuts at the time either because the HIV is effectively dead.

Only adult risks are the following:
1. unprotected penetrating vaginal
2. unprotected penetrating anal sex
3. sharing needles that you inject with. Knowing these 3 are all you need to know to protect yourself against HIV. Your situation is a long way from any of these 3.
Even with blood, lactation, cuts, rashes, burns, etc the air or the saliva does not allow inactivated virus to infect from touching, external rubbing or oral activities. The above HIV science is 40 years old and very well established so there is no detail that you can add that will make any of your encounter a risk for HIV.  No one in 40 years of HIV history got HIV from the situation you are concerned about so it is unlikely that it will happen in the next 40 of your lifetime either.
