No risk.  HIV can't be transmitted once it is seperated from it's host,  once in contact with external environment the virus becomes inactive.  

Please read about HIV and it's transmission:
https://www.cdc.gov/hiv/basics/transmission.html

I assure you that your child is safe and this incident doesn't posses any risk.
