Risks for HIV are:
1) having unprotected, penetrative anal or vaginal sex, or
2) sharing intravenous needles.
If you did not have one of those two risks, then your other questions are not relevant. If you had unprotected anal or vaginal sex, you should not rely on some story about "friction" to keep you safe. Use condoms.
