There is always a risk from the unknown. You are rightly concerned, so the earliest you can be tested is 18-45 days. Do so for peace of mind and hopefully a negative result.

Dupicate question. See my previous reply. No risk at all, no need for testing. Nobody in the world ever caught HIV from a contaminated environment, especially with such superficial contact of the sort you describe.
