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.

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.
