HIV RISK, Please help to answer

I have been to a pub recently and drank few beers in pub which were served by worker in pub.  The same worker is removing the empty beer bottles which were drank by others by holding them at nozzles. So  others saliva might have touched his hand, therefore touched the beers which I drank also.  There was small cut on my lips , Later I went to rest room and used my hand with which I holded beer to hold my pennis,pull back my foreskin  and pee. So I am worried about my HIV risk with the 2 things either by drinking or holding my pennis to pull back my foreskin to pee. Can you please answer this ...

So I can have my sexual life with my wife and don't need any testing correct ? Please answer...
This answers all of your HIV questions, and if you can think of any more just reread about the 3. You had zero risk therefore  testing is irrelevant to your situation because you had zero risk. HIV is a fragile virus, which is instantly inactivated in air and also in saliva which means it is effectively dead so it can't infect from touching, external rubbing or oral activities. It doesn't matter if you and they were actively bleeding or had cuts at the time either because the HIV is effectively dead.  
Only 3 adult risks are the following:
1. unprotected penetrating vaginal with a penis
2. unprotected penetrating anal sex with a penis
3. sharing needles that you inject with.
The only way to get HIV is if you did one of the 3. The situation you describe is a long way from any of these 3.
Even with blood, lactation, cuts, rashes, burns, etc the air or the saliva does not allow inactivated virus to infect from touching, external rubbing or oral activities. Doctors have calculated the risk from what you describe to be less than that of being hit by a meteor, therefore no one will get HIV from what you did in the next 40 years of your life either. The above HIV science is 40 years old and very well established, so no detail that you can add to your encounter will change it from zero risk.
If you didn't have one of the 3 then you are just worrying about your own hiv theory - which is unrealistic for you to think that can become reality - so you should move on back to your happy life instead.
