Think i'm infected.

Good morning sir. I've two questions of my risk to ask.
1.My head of penis(genital area)touches menstruation blood of hiv positive person in a bathroom while being there; menstruation blood is fresh and on a washbasin, but I don't know I stand and my head of penis touch the blood on a washbasin that I don't see at first. There may be little wound from my masturbation. The fear comes beacuse I use the bathroom after someone who is hiv positive uses in a few minutes (about 5 minutes.) Is it risk?
2.Menstruation blood is on the floor, many areas. I don't know that my bare feet touch it or not, if touching, will it be risk? My feet is bruise from falling down.

I'm so serious. Help me pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
Thank

Ok Teak this is my last question. I'm thinking of 'host.'
That hiv is infectious inside the host means it must be body to body; for example sexing, or huge wound to wound -- the hiv virus doesn't expose to the air even in seconds. It's like a pipe that transfer virus in one body to other. When it is out of the body and expose to the air, game over. Is my understanding right?

The fresh blood is not on intact skin, but genital area. Can it be infectious to my bloodstream because it's fresh? I think it may be still active. I'm very worried. Thank again sir.

Not an HIV concern just like your other question.

HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions; therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.

HIV is transmitted by;
Unprotected penetrative anal and/or vaginal sex
Sharing works with other IV drug users
Mother to child
