I strongly doubt possibility of hiv transmission with this scenario, but if you still have concerns, get tested for peace of mind.

Highly unlikely HIV transmission in above mentioned circumstances. HIV related anxiety is likely and you may need help for it.

If you have any concern get tested at about 6 weeks after the incident. The risk is very low. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs.
