HIV Anxiety

Hi, Doctors,
i went to a beauty saloon three weeks ago. A girl used a blackhead remover to remove my blackheads on the nose. one end of the remover is sharp and the other end is a small steel loop. not a new one ,but the sharp end was immersed in medical alcohol in a tube.first the girl used the sharp end to pick my balckhead slightly. i don't know bled or not but i didn't feel any pain. then she used the samll steel loop ( may not be sterilized) to press or squeeze the blackhead out ,little pain ,not bled.  if the steel loop was contimated by HIV and wasn't sterilized, do i have the risk of HIV. i was the first one there that morning. so the blackhead remover wasn't used for 9 hours. Can the HIV virus suvive so long time?
