Brief Answer:
No possibilty of HIV.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query at HCM.
I understand your concern and situation.

Your worries and anxiety are unnecessary. The way you described the HIV is and cannot effect anyone. HIV can be transmitted only when there is direct genital contact between two adults and among them one must be HIV positive. As in your case no need as there is no possibility of infection. I do not recommend any test too. Relax and live happily.
