Even if she was HIV positive, there is no way, as in ZEEO chance that you would be infected by what you described. HIV can only be transmitted inside the body through unprotected anal or vaginal sex. You need to stop worrying because you're as safe as anyone else who never had any risk.

That's supposed to say "zero". But my phone spelled it wrong.
Thanks so much for feedback do i need to to take test pr what u suggest for my anxiety level
Why would you take a test when you were not exposed to anything? You had no risk. What you have is  health anxiety. Health anxiety is a very common problem for all of the people who post questions on here. You should find a counselor or therapist to assist you with overcoming this debilitating condition.
Thanks dear only i forget to inform you she told me go and wash off or it will wet

I just check i didn't notice  any outisde of my underwear passage fluids but i only saw my semen in aatach to pennis i was un aware i didn't wash but after 1 hour i took a bath ..

I asked her when she was checking her panties anything wet she told no nothing she wear jeans and went off

I am sorry to ask you this happen what would suggestion do i am overthinking too much
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. These 3 are all you need to know to protect yourself against HIV. 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.
Your problem is not disease, it is fear of disease
I am very much worried what should i do i am not able to do work not able to eat or concentrate on any thing i cannot get over it i am very hopless

I saw in internet that virus can leave outside the body if it is not dried she told me to after ejacuation in my underwear to wash i didnt no to wash that we have to wash after everything finish it i was new i didnt have sex or this kind of experience i have only one thing in my mind did her vaginal fluids came out and drop in my underwear i am thinking so many possibilities

I am getting very tierd and i have feelings of fever and sore mouth i have lost in eating food i became smoker i am continuously smoking cigreaate with out eating proper i am getting sweats also

Please help me out what i should do know

Thanks

Which of the only 3 risks for HIV do you feel your encounter was? Otherwise you are just making up your own science fiction so it won't be possible to have a logical conversation about that because it is unrealistic to think it can become true.

You have been told this is not a risk.  The ways that HIV is transmitted has been told to you and this is not one of the ways.  And yet you still worry.  Could the problem really be anxiety?  I think so.  If you treat anxiety like the disorder it is and treat that, your HIV fear may go away.  You had no risk and any type of 'symptom' you think you are having is not associated with your visit to the spa.

You evaded this question. Which of the only 3 risks for HIV do you feel your encounter was? Otherwise you are just making up your own science fiction so it won't be possible to have a logical conversation about that because it is unrealistic to think it can become true.
Do i have to do test for hiv exposure last time i did it 1 year 6 months before  and i was medi ally fit. From past 6 months i have been constantly sick like sinus infections and swelling of face always been their

Secondly after the exposure i have only 2 symptoms i have extreme fatigue i think because of  stress always and my leg fingers are having a shooting pain with palm also i feel muscle cramps in body

I know this feel awkward that i am consistently asking strange things i am still very much confused what to do the only problem is i have no one here with me to take care i live away from home and their is no friends to share my things sameway its being very difficult to me on concentrate work as this things i am unable to do anything

It is very difficult to fight alone its very painfull
I've already told you a couple of times what to do. Find a counselor or therapist to discuss this. There's nothing anyone here can do for you because this is not an anxiety forum. You've been told repeatedly by many people that this was NO risk. That's all we can do. Find a therapist to discuss your health anxiety and home sickness.
