Need Worry?

hi everyone
If there is a drop of hiv blood on the bedsheet,but the blood has not been dry,it  was still wet, my fresh wound touched the blood,has any risk?
Because my friend who llives in the same room with me,he just fought with other people,and he put his clothes on my bed,and some blood on my bedsheet,My wound touched the blood accidently,I really did not know how long the blood had left the body,but the blood was still wet,if the blood has hiv in it,and  my open fresh wound touched the hiv blood,
has any risk?
I am very worry,
Thank you

That is my understanding, even if clothes covered in the blood on .let  the blood was not in  air ,and the blood was still wet,but it has been out side the host,so  a open bleeding wound touch the hiv blood also no risk?is it right?

And no matter the wound was bleeding or not,once the hiv blood was out side the host,it can not transmite.
Do you think my understanding is right?

It doesn't matter how long it was on the bed there is still no risk. HIV is NOT transmitted from environmental surfaces.

But I read another post at another forum, the doctor said if the blood was not dry,it can  transmite.Which is true?
I am worry again,
So do you think I really have no risk?
and even if I have an open bleeding wound, In that case, hiv can not be transmitted ?
can the hiv blood once on the bedsheet,it loses  the infectiousness?

the risk is zero.  the only way to get hiv is unprotected vaginal/anal sex, sharing needles.
