Brief Answer:
Risk is negligible.Free from HIV 1, Syphilis, Hepatitis B, HSV 1 and HSV 2.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Thanks for posting your query.

Body to body massage, hand job and even penis to penis touching all have negligible risk for HIV/STD.

As far as the test results concerned, it is conclusive that you are free from HIV 1, Syphilis, Hepatitis B, HSV 1 and 2.
If you want to rule out other possibilities also, it is better to have tests for Hepatitis C and another HIV antibody test 12 weeks after the encounter for a conclusive result of HIV 2. P24 antigen test would not have ruled out HIV 2 and Antibody part of test would become conclusive only after the window period for HIV infection (12 weeks).
The prevalence of HIV 2 is less than 1% only. I am sure that those tests also will bring negative result only. Nothing to worry.

Brief Answer:
HIV Rapid EIA teats is good and reliable.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome back.
Rubbing externally over vagina without penetration carries negligible risk only.

Window period for HIV is 6-8 weeks only, but sometimes it may get delayed up to 12 weeks. So there might be a possibility of lapse with the test done by 8 weeks. Test after 12 weeks will be more conclusive.
HIV Rapid EIA Test is a good reliable test. No better test is necessary.
Still the chances for HIV/STD through that act is very meager.
