I'm a female that had protected sex with a male one time recently. Condom was used each time we went another round. After intercourse and cuddling he rubbed his penis on my clit. The rubbing was without condom. Is this a risk for HIV? Is rubbing outside the vagina a risk? Just want to be put at ease

It's not an HIV risk.
Here's what you need to know to reduce your HIV risks: Use condoms for anal or vaginal intercourse correctly and consistently, with no exceptions. Consider talking to your healthcare provider about PrEP as an additional layer of protection against HIV
Keep in mind that some sexual practices described as safe in terms of acquiring HIV still pose a risk for other easier-acquired STIs. So please do get tested at least yearly for STIs, including but not limited to HIV, and more frequently if condomless intercourse occurs.
Also, note that it is possible to have an STI and show no signs or symptoms; testing is the only way to know.
Kind regards
Jim
