No: What you described does not put you at risk for HIV. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Safe sex: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/wellness-and-prevention/safer-sex-guidelines

No: No risk for HIV in above mentioned scenario. HIV related anxiety appears likely and talking to your doc about ways to alleviate it would be appropriate.
