HIV doubt
Hello,
Today I drank coconut water. I noticed that the finger of that vendor had very deep cut and I assumed it was due to the instrument which he uses to cut coconut.
He cut a new one for me and I had that coconut water.
My question is: the virus might be on that instrument and he cut a coconut for me using that instrument , so is there any possibilities of getting any virus? Because I drank that coconut water.
(I assuming he is having HIV or other diseases)
Please help

HIV is instantly inactivated in air (even if his blood dripped onto a cut of yours) otherwise the entire world would have it if it was as easy to catch as a cold like you are worrying about. It would be front page news if some baby got HIV from what you did.
