No, you have zero risk for HIV.  People don't get HIV from toys of any sort, even this type AND you say yourself it had a seal on it.  This is a bit irrational, to be honest.  Do you have anxiety like this often?  The only ways to get HIV are to have unprotected vaginal or anal sex (with a human) or share IV drug needles.  Surfaces do not contaminate, air inactivates the virus.  No risk.

Thanks so much for helping me! I am really anxious and nervous these days. I am just afraid that someone would repackage it after using. So is it enough for hiv to die in someone's body fluid in three days in fleshlight? Really appreciate that you could answer me question!
But I did answer that.  Your anxiety is in the way of accepting the answer.  NO RISK.
Your situation involves personal contact with an object in air  (someone else's semen, which is not a risk for hiv.) No worries, because you can't get hiv from personal contact except unprotected penetrating vaginal or anal, neither of which you did and you didn't share hollow needles to inject with which is the only other way to acquire hiv. Analysis of large numbers of infected people over the 40 years of hiv history has proven that people don't get hiv in the way you are worried is a risk.
HIV is a fragile virus in air or saliva and is effectively instantly dead in either air or saliva so the worst that could happen is dead virus rubbed you, and obviously anything which is dead cannot live again so you are good. Blood and cuts would not be relevant in your situation since the hiv has become effectively dead, so you don't have to worry about them to be sure that you are safe.
There is no reason for a person to test when they are safe, so move on back to your happy life.
AGAIN! Really APPRECIATE for answering my question!!! I would never do something like that again. Hope we all have a healthy life.
There is no reason to not do this again. Someone gets cut and accidentally rubs other people's fluids against their wounds every minute of the day and don't get hiv, so no one is going to get hiv from what you did.
Got it, Thanks!
