HIV from this experience.

I understand I cannot get anything without broken skin but. I had an experience at a weird themed cocktail bar. With a domina. She used a whipping type thing on my back I had no shirt on. it stung a bit. Would I know if it had broken the skin beyond just redness? Shorts on whole time. Was only red for 3 days. They said they disinfect these things.
Thanks.

The only risks for HIV in adults are:
1) Having unprotected anal or vaginal sex, or
2) sharing intravenous needles with IV drug users.

There isn't any other situation that you can think of that would put you at risk for HIV.  You cannot get HIV from ANY objects or surfaces - even if the objects have blood or fluid on them.
