Brief Answer:
Risk of HIV is near to zero

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

With the activities you mentioned, the risk of HIV infection / transmission is near to zero.

Masturbation and kissing would not cause a transmission of the virus that would lead to a full blown infection.

Do not be anxious about this and try to correct your behavior. This kind of behavior is highly risky and you cannot be lucky all the time. In the moment, you may commit a mistake.

Hope I have answered your query.
