Vibrator use

I have been to a massage parlour where a lady used a vibrator(sex toy) on my penis.(she has not used that vibrator on her during massage but I am not sure when she has used that)
I am not sure if she has cleaned the vibrator and she could have used on different People before me.
Is there a risk for hiv as I have searched on this site and DR’s have mentioned that there is a risk associated with sex toys.
Please help

You were told there are ONLY 3 ways to get hiv here before so you only need to remember those 3 to determine that you didn't have any risk. For clarity again, no penis or hollow needles were involved with the sex toy so there can't be a risk.
Whatever "doctors" you claim to have located telling you there is a risk are not real doctors, so move on and refer to the 3 next time., since hiv prevention is straightforward.

sb ............no penis penetration in a vagina or anus.....
Thanks for your reply..Like I have searched posts on this site and Dr’s have mentioned that there is theoretical risk associated with sex toys so thats why I have asked.
You claim to have found doctors. It is not believable that you found even one post with such advice from anyone dispensing advice here.

Please provide any of those links on this site for clarity.

Dr has mentioned in this link testing is reasonable.
Thats why I was a bit nervous.

Go test if you are afraid, but if you get hiv you will be the first person in 40 years who did - reality is no one in the next 40 years of your life is going to get it this way either, since hiv is dead in air which is why people who accidentally rub their bleeding cuts with other people's all the time but no one gets infected or you would read about it. Nothing left to say about this event that is totally wasting your time.

Thanks for your reply...So testing is not required right?
It's pretty doubtful that the vibrator was used on someone else and the 'theoretical' risk would only apply if it were done immediately.  Once the vibrator is exposed to air, HIV is not a threat. So, if it's sitting in the room waiting for you or whatever, it's in air and is not going to infect you.  This is no risk from my viewpoint and I wouldn't test if I were you.
I mean immediately as in inserted into someone's anus and then immediately into yours.
