Does HIV pass through blood on Mango ?

Hi All
I am new to this forum.
I am from India & here we get fruits sold on the road which are cut & given immediately to eat.
I had pieces of Mango last month & I didn't observe the fruit and i ate immediately. ( say in 5 secs from vendors hand )
But I got this Fear of HIV as the person who was selling had big pimple sort on his face with dried blood on it.
From then i got fear of getting  HIV.  
Can someone please guide me whether it is a risk ?
I got myself checked for HIV after a week after the incident and result was HIV - NON REACTIVE.
Should i get myself checked again after 3 months ? am i at risk ?

I am married & i don't want to pass it to my wife if i had any chance of risk??

Kindly guide me

Well you were advised that you had no risk, so you don't need to test.

Hii doctor,

I know I am getting too obsessive about the event which happend & I want to overcome the fear & restart my life as earlier...

Even after your assurance I felt feared & took hiv test at 7th week which came out to be negative.
I was happy & started telling myself that I'm fine trying to re-live my life as usual.

Just I need one last answer from you ..
Should I take one more test at 3 months or shall I forget the event as zero risk & try forget it... I'm diabetic from last one year so these health related fear are worrying me a lot.

I know u people are busy answering so many like out there but I couldn't stop asking you. Please try to understand my problem & answer.

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
