Can I get infected in a restaurant?

Can I get infected in a restaurant?

Some days ago, I went to the dentist, she took out one tooth, so I had a wound in the upper part of the mouth; two hours later I drank coffee and made a salt-water wash in a restaurant. Is there any possibility of getting infected if some HIV+ used the same glass previously in the day? The glass was clean, it looked clean, still wet. Do I get worried or just relax?

Allright, you took into account the open wound in my mouth? The water from the glass touch it. Still, no risk?

thanks so much, I think I'm too paranoid, everybody has said the same, that I'm not at risk... my only worry was the contact of saliva (which is said to have the virus) with the open wound...
