worried again

Hi everyone,  its been awhile.  Ive been doing well,,,, some  dating after my long marriage and divorce.

Here is my question and yes I know it is probably not worth worrying over but.....

Can you get hiv from precum if it is on your hand via mastubation with a hopefully negative guy? I have very dry hands, some cracks in the skin.  Can anyone tell me im ok?

THanKs for your time.

HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions; therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.

HIV is transmitted by;
Unprotected penetrative anal and/or vaginal sex
Sharing works with other IV drug users
Mother to child
