There is no transmission of HIV by this route

Blood
Semen (cum)
Pre-seminal fluid (pre-cum)
Rectal fluids
Vaginal fluids
Breast milk
In your case there is no such exposure. So be relaxed.

what about hepatitis b,c
Brief Answer:
No risk.
Detailed Answer:
You can get it through contact with the blood or body fluids of an infected person. It's most often spread through unprotected sex. It's also possible to get hepatitis B by sharing an infected person's needles, razors, or toothbrush. And an infected mother can pass the virus to her baby during childbirth. Hepatitis B is not spread by hugging, sharing food, or coughing.
It spreads through infected blood. sharing needles or other items used to inject drugs is the most common cause of infection. Getting a tattoo or body piercing with an infected needle is another means of exposure. A mother may pass the virus to her child at birth. In rare cases, unprotected sex spreads hepatitis C, but the risk appears small. Having multiple sex partners, HIV, or rough sex seems to raise risk for spreading hepatitis C
So you are at nil risk for all 3 HIV Hep B and C
Do not bother much.
Take care.
No risk.
