[Question #13735] HIV - the environment

I attended a housewarming yesterday. It transpires that two of the attendees are HIV-positive. However, my worry stems from the fact that I saw one of them accidentally slice their finger with a knife whilst cutting limes for their drink.

At the end of the party I stayed behind to help tidy up, including taking boxes and trash bags outside.

I have only just recovered from a bad cold. I still have a scab in my nose and I had a pimple under my nostril. Before leaving yesterday, stupidly without thinking, I inserted my index finger deep into my nostril to pick the scab. I also popped my pimple in the bathroom mirror as it had a yellow head (it bled quite a bit).

My concern is the fact that I may have been touching items with HIV-fluids on them - including the boxes, Deliveroo bags, towels and door handles. I had not washed my hands before this moment of madness and I also touched my heavily bleeding pimple.

Can you put my mind at rest? Am I in the clear with HIV?

God Bless.
