Penis to anus

I've read a lot on this forum in regards to what I am curious about, but I wanted to ask for my own sake of clarity. If someone was pressing the head of their penis against my anus, when the presence of precum is unknown, is this a possibility of getting HIV if their status was positive? When I say pressing, I mean roughly, almost with the intention of insertion, but the most I believe happened was the head of his penis was pressing firmly against a (spread) opening of the anus. Also, if the roles were reversed and I was the one pressing my penis against the opening of an anus in the same manner, would this be regarded as an exposure? Little worried, and probably over thinking, but asking for a piece of mind. Thanks!

HIV can only be transmitted INSIDE the human body. It can NOT be transmitted by pushing against an orifice, you had no risk even if pre-ejaculate was present.

No risk and you are over-thinking which is natural but you are safe.

Thank you. I've always been given grief for over thinking, but hey sometimes we can't help it. To elaborate a little; after getting my answer and reading a lot of similar concerns on this forum, is it "safe" to say that a penis would have to be entirely in the anus unprotected to warrant the possibility of transmission? I'm always getting that penis to anus is no risk, and in my case tip of the penis roughly against the spread opening of an anus is no risk...so does that mean it has to be all the way in?
It has to be penetrating not just pushing.
So essentially all the way in? There isn't lining around the opening of the anus that might make it vulnerable if there was a presence of preejaculation?
