When had the incident taken place. If it has been few days already then what are you worried about (you are safe, you have not got HIV) is this a recurring thought whenever you visit a washroom or public urinals ?

Fear of contamination, excess hand washing, checking, anxiety and irritability are some of the features of OCD. It is advisable to go to a psychiatrist for proper assessment and diagnosis. They will be able to assess him properly and treat accordingly. Without going to a psychiatrist it is not possible to confirm the diagnosis or start any treatment.
Consult a psychiatrist at the earliest. The best treatment is a combination of medication and behavioral therapy.
