Possible HIV exposure? Been almost 8 years

I used to masturbate on my stomach down position ( prone position ) on my bed, floor or carpet (mostly on my carpet and bed) when I started masturbating at the age of 12 just because I found the position comfortable. I continued it for for almost 2 years when I found it uncomfortable.
Recently I just got worried over HIV/AIDS after reading about it all online and got totally freaked out.
Please note that, I have never indulged in any sexual activity (penetrative or oral). A Virgin. Never injected drugs.
or any fluids. Lead a healthy life.

I have the following questions:
Did I get exposed to HIV/AIDS in the process?
Since I used to masturbate on my same carpet and bed or sheet all these times, would the sperm have accumulated and developed any strain of the HIV virus? Is that possible?

The fact that hiv remains in ones body for years undetected also worries me.

Teak and Lizz, What are your inputs on this?

Please Help.
