HIV and broken skin

Today I went to the mall an one of that persons who sell creams invite me to try his product, he put in my hand - with spatula- a small amount of cream and rub it on the palm of my hand with his fingers were I have a terrible excema with broken skin, I didnt see blood on the product or any cut in his hands but becuase I have my skin broken I completly  asume that he had give me HIV from the cream or his fingers in my broken , and the idea got worse after I knew that he used the same spatula in other people. Can be this possible¿? Thanks

No risk. Think of the lawsuits if people got HIV trying out cream samples.

Thanks anxiousnomore , I suffer severe OCD and still my mind play tricks with me, now saying that only 1 answer is not good becuase can be that nobody can tell me the " true" , OCD is horrible. Then you are 100% sure? No risk at all?
As an adult, the only risks for HIV are:
1) having unprotected, penetrative vaginal or anal sex, or
2) sharing IV drug needles with other IV drug users.

If you don't do either of those activities, you will NEVER have to worry about HIV.  We suggest seeking help for your OCD - there isn't any more advice we can offer about your no-risk events.
Thanks CurfewX, Im in a horrible time in my lifa - a daughter that is severily ill and almost die - and I think this is bringing out the OCD full force. Thanks again
