I am worried

I am worried

Hello, I would like to ask you if I could get HIV from eating food with blood on it? It is possible that I had slight wound on my lip because I sometimes bite my lips. Would there be any possibility of transmisson if the wound was not closed? I was most probably not bleeding and the skin was probably still intact. I actually did not see or taste any blood in my food either. However, I am suffering from certain anxiety so I might overreacting just a bit. Do I need to worry about it and should I get tested for HIV?
Thanks

About a week ago I went to fast food restuarant and ordered food, I can't remember if I ate any of the fries before getting back to my office but once I did get back I sat down ate a frie or two and then noticed there was a frie in the box that had some red specks on it. I took a napkin and rubbed the spot to see what it was and a light red color came off of it. I'm a little freaked out that I may have eaten a tainted frie and if I did that I might get something from it am I crazy or shoud I be concerned?

Give it a rest,  you already post that question. No you cannot contract HIV from eating food.
