STEAM ROOM AND HIV

I was in a steam room and masturbated another male whom i assume is high risk. My finger might have bled near the cuticle. He did not ejaculate but did have pre-ejaculate. I KNOW THAT ITS NOT UNPROTECTIVE ANAL OR VAGINAL, but i am scared to death. What is the chance that the moist, steamy 110F degrees kept the HIV infectious with less fresh air in the room? Also, i know that you cannot get HIV from environmental surfaces but many men do sexual acts in the steam room where i go and wonder if their gential fluids could have went up my urethra or anal cavity during contact when i was sitting. I wanted to ask the doctor but he said no further questions.

Lizzie.thank you for responding.
Yes residual semen. The doctor said that it would
not be inactivated by the steam and if I touch it then rub my eye it's a scary thought. Yes paranoid. I know. Many on this site are.

residual semen "left in steam rooms"  (WTH?) would not be active.

Teak,

I respect you, but I want to be informed as best as possible or the anxiety will eat me up.

Just one question for future note:

Since many sexual things go on in the steam room, is it possible to contract HIV by touching genital fluids and then rubbing your eyes(mucous membrane).
