hiv transmission by pennis tip rubbing against the wash basin surface

Well, i have this obsessive thought nagging me all the time, i was at the red light district in frankfurt and had a protected BJ from a hooker, no sex, after the BJ she removed my condom and i went to the wash basin to clean my pennis with water, however when i was washing my pennis, it came in contact with the wash basin surface where there were drops of water, i am not sure if its water or semen from another person who would have washed there before me, but i felt my pennis tip rubbed againt that liquid, i washed my pennis again and even tried to squeeze it open and put water inside it to be sure, my question is is there a risk of exposure assuming if there was really some semen by possibly a infected person lying there in the wash basin for more than 15 minutes? Your answer would be highly appreciated

You never had an exposure.

HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions; therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.

HIV is transmitted by;
Unprotected penetrative anal and/or vaginal sex
Sharing works with other IV drug users
Mother to child
