Another (perhaps pointless) question
Hi-
I had an encounter with another male (who claims he got tested two weeks ago and was negative) yesterday (I'm a male myself). We grinded (ground?) against one another, genitalia out. Both of us are uncircumcised, and heeded safe sex. Actually, that was the extent of it (the grinding).
I know it's a bit unreasonable to worry, but I believe at one point, I may have used my backside to grind against him (sitting on him) and, while I don't believe my anus was exposed to his frontal area, I can't be too sure. I know earlier in the day, when I had used the restroom, I had chafed the area in the back, and he had a lot of pre-ejaculate that was coming out.
Forgive me for the awkwardness of the story, but am I at risk, in case he had rubbed his pre-fluid against an abraised anus?
Thank you in advance for your help- Still learning what I can about this.

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 abusers
Mother to child
