What is risk for HIV infection from sucking scrotum of a gay postive man

Hello - I met a stranger in a gay club and indulged in sucking his scrotum while touching his penis shaft. I was deeply sucking his scrotum for nearly 5 minutes until he told that he was hiv positive. I did not take his penis head into my mouth though I had touched his penis head with my hands. I stopped and moved away when he told me of his status. Am I at risk of hiv infection? Thanks

Agree that this is not a risk.  Saliva nd air inactivate the virus so your activity poses no risk for HIV transmission.

In an adult, the only risks for infection include unprotected anal or vaginal sex and sharing iv drug needles with infected users. What you've listed here is not a risk, therefore there is no cause for concern.
