Do I possibly have hiv

I had PROTECTED sex and didn’t cum. I took my penis out and put it in my underwear with the condom still on. Then I took the condom off. Could I have gotten give from the vaginal fluid from the condom rubbing against my underwear and then my penis touching that? I started having burning skin sensation about a week later it feels like icy hot is on my skin. Al lover my body and comes and goes. Gets worse in front of the air conditioning.No rash. I had a full std panel a week after and all came back negative: I am worried I was exposed to hiv. The girl says she had a negative test very recently but I read that you can still pass the virus even if it is a negative test. She sleeps around a lot and offered me to put it in without protection. This all scares me. Is it possible that I was exposed? Thank you

The only risks for HIV are to have unprotected vaginal or anal intercourse (with penetration) or share IV drug needles.  Air inactivates the virus so that you used a condom for sex means no risk. You would not get HIV after from touching your penis to anything as air is present.  So, no risk and nothing to worry about

Thank you for your response. Even if she had a very high viral load there is still 0 chance? Thank you again
no risk is no risk. So, this was no risk.

Your situation involves personal contact with an object in air  (fluids on condom etc. ). You will be happy to learn that you had no risk, because you can't get hiv from personal contact except unprotected penetrating vaginal or anal, neither of which you did and you didn't share hollow needles to inject with which is the only other way to acquire hiv - there are only 3 ways to get hiv. Analysis of large numbers of infected people over the 40 years of hiv history has proven that people don't get hiv in the way you are worried is a risk.
HIV is a fragile virus in air or saliva and is effectively instantly dead in either air or saliva so the WORST that could happen is dead virus rubbed you, and obviously anything which is dead cannot live again so you are good. Blood and cuts would not be relevant in your situation since the hiv has become effectively dead, so you don't have to worry about them to be sure that you are safe.
There is no reason for a person to test when they are safe. The advice took into consideration that the other person might be positive, so move on and enjoy life instead of thinking about this non-event. hiv prevention is straightforward since there are only 3 ways you can become infected, so next time you wonder if you had a risk, ask yourself this QUESTION. "Did I do any of the 3?" Then after you say "No, I didn't" you will know that it's time to move on back to your happy life.
No one got hiv from what you did during 40 years of hiv history and no one will get it in the next 40 years of your life either.  You can do what you did any time and be safe.
Only the head of your penis needs to be protected which is why no one gets hiv when they use a condom. Your rash can be from 1,000 possible causes so see doc if you really think it is a problem, instead of wasting time thinking it is hiv.

Thank you for your response. I don’t have a rash just burning and tingling sensation all around my body. I was wondering what if she had very high viral load would that matter? I had my penis against my underwear for maybe 2 hours before I showered. Thank you again
