Risk of infecton through cut on hand!

Risk of infecton through cut on hand!

I just want to know if there is any risk from the following situation:
I pinched myself accidently with a nail and two days later went to the hospital to get a tetanus vaccine.
There was a man with a bleeding injury who did registration right before me, right after him I singed the papers with the same pen he used and in the same desk. The puncture wound I have is in my hand, the hand I used to sing with the pen he used! What if the guy had touched his blood right before touching the pen and the desk? and I touched it right after?, I could not see his blood there but what if there where traces of Hiv in the surface ant they got inside my cut? Please let me know I am seriously worried, explain to me please !!!!!

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. The answer is you didn't have a risk.
