You had ZERO RISK for HIV.
As an adult, the only risks for HIV are:
1) having unprotected, penetrative vaginal or anal sex, or
2) sharing IV drug needles with other IV drug users.
You will never get HIV from someone touching you with gloves, even if those gloves had touched anything else, including HIV+ blood. There is NOTHING you can add to this event that would make it a risk for HIV, and you do not need to test for HIV.
When the nurse came to injection room , she already wearing a hand gloves, she already attended from other patient in other room, additional information only do i have a risk in contracting hiv in this situation?

Condoms are the most effective way to prevent HIV and STDs.
PrEP is used by people with high risk to prevent HIV infection.
Can I get HIV from surfaces, like toilet seats?
Can you get HIV from casual contact, like hugging?
Frequency of HIV testing depends on your risk.
Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) may help prevent HIV infection.
