am I infected?

In January 2013 I had a massage at a massage parlor. I had groin rash at that time. There was no sexual penetration at all. But I saw the therapist touch her vagina and play with her clitoris and then the massage was continued on my groin. I am afraid that her vaginal fluids come in to my rash groin. I believe that there was no open cut on my rash groin, because i did not feel smarting when I had my shower after the massage.

In April 2013 I had swollen lymph nodes, one on my right armpit and the other one on my left neck. I did not have any fever when I had them and there were little bit discomfort/heart when I pressed them. I have not done the HIV test. I am really worried. Could you please advise how big is the probability of getting HIV infected based on the story above?

transmission does NOT take place outside the body.  it happens when an unprotected penis is INSIDE a vagina / anus.

One more question if you do not mind. How if I had open cut, since the therapist played with her vagina and the vagina fluids might come in to the open cut on my rash groin, was the risk still zero?

I believe I didnot have open cut, but i just want to make sure :)
