You did not have an HIV risk in the activities you described.

Maybe you all are not answering because you think it is a joke but I am scared.  I don't know if his penis went inside because it was small and there was his precum.  I am having painful soreness in my mounth, rep blotches that are not painful.  It was stupid but I am indeed afraid.  He rubbed his precum on my face as well.

Thank you for answering my 1 friend who took me seriously

We treat all questions asked in this forum seriously. This is an international website and the members who answer questions here live all over the world. Conseqently we are not all online at the same time.

Jonathan answered your question.  Frottage, (rubbing genitals) is not a risk for HIV infection.

HIV is a fragile virus, it is transmitted in very particular ways. Those ways are:

Unprotected vaginal and anal sex;
Sharing contaminated injecting equipment such as needles and syringes;
In some cases from HIV positive mother to her unborn or nursing infant.

Even though you do not need to be tested over this specific encounter like all sexually active people, you should be having a full sexual health screening at least once a year. Twice is better. If it's been a while since your last screening or if you've not had one before, you should visit your doctor or local clinic.

Please take the time to read our Welcome Thread. It contains links to our lessons on HIV transmission.

Regards,

MtD
