A viral load is not something that you need to concern yourself with, it should not have been brought up, as it is irrelevant. Even if your friend was +, you still would not have had a risk.

Don't concern yourself with viral load, it has nothing to do with your situation. You had no risk, simple as that.

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.

No risk because HIV transmission occurs inside the body when a penis is in a vagina or anus or a syringe is in your arm.
