fear of HIV from indirect contact

Hello everyone and a special thanks to doctors who offer their knowledge.
I explain briefly my situation. Exactly a week ago I was with an escort. I specify that I had no insertive direct relationship. My concern is that I rubbed my penis on the breast of the escort for a time less than one minute. My anxiety, then, is related to the possibility that a previous customer have come on the breast, and if that had happened, although there were no clear signs of liquid on the breasts, some microscopic residual can be entered in touch with my glans.
The other issue relates to the fact that the escort opened a condom and put it first on the bed, and after about ten minutes she inserted it on my penis to practice  a masturbation. Here the question is similar to the previous one, namely: what if the condom entered in contact  to  any seminal fluids and / or blood and the latter can then be entered in contact with the condom and then with my glans???
I would therefore like to know if these are modes of transmission of any infectious disease and especially HIV or hepatitis.
I precise that since some days I feel a sense of burning in the foreskin of the penis and a feeling of constantly having to go to urinate, which happens.
Dear Doctor, please, clarify my doubts. Interests of clarity, I specify that the escort has even touched my penis without a condom, it is possible that she had dirty hands, and in this way gave me some sort of infections which among other things cause these my burning sensation??
Last question, is it true that hiv virus dies outside the body and how much amount of viruses is need to happen the contagion, a drop would be enough?
Thank you so much, i really appreciate your work.

Even though the Drs no longer post, their archives are available which we ourselves use for reference.
This is an HIV forum, and your concern for HIV is in your mind. You had no risk for hiv, for reasons already explained.
It needs the host ( inside your body ) to survive, not outside.
Hiv must enter your body to infect, thats why it occurs from exchanging body fluids inside the body and it can not absorb into skin.

Do you mean there is no more direct medical control of what is said, advised or suggested on Medhelp? Archives are OK, but medical opinions need regular updates. No?
There are moderators who keep things in line. And we who reply are not stuck in a time zone.

Doctors left here long ago. HIV is instantly inactivated in air otherwise everyone in America would be infected if it was as contagious as cold virus, which is why everyone gets a few colds per year. Toilet seats would be HIV carriers if HIV oozed from the skin of the afflicted or they rubbed their breasts against one. Etc.
You and everyone who did what you did had zero risk.

oh I didn't know that there were no more doctors here, ahah!!! anyway thank you for the answer, I'm so scared, I know I should calm down but my mind is uncontrollable.
If anyone ever got it like you worry about then it would be in the news sometime over the last 40 years of HIV history. Nothing else to say except check out counselling if you have to but the issue is straightforward so think about it for a while.
