Brief answer....No chances

Detailed answer....
Hello,

HIV is not a easy virus to get or to give. Not only you need full penetration; but it should also last a while.
Even in circumstances where your partner is infected, the risk of transmitting HIV virus is extremely low. One study says that chances of transmission through unprotected sex with an infected partner are just 1 in 1000. This doesn't mean that one can go out and have unsafe sex. But just don't worry as chances of HIV are minimal.

I hope it helps,however you may revert to me for any further query.

Best of luck
Thanks

Hello,
Relax.  Genital apposition, without penetration ( known as frottage ) is not known to be an HIV risk. 
I hope it should bring peace to you.

Hello,
Although this test is 99% accurate,we are still not 100% sure.
Since you have come this far,then best would be to get a western blot test at 3 months and then at 6 months.
Negative western blot at 6 months mean that it is now 100% sure that a person doesnt have HIV.
Thanks
