Will i get infected with HIV

Hi,
I was going to refill petrol for my car and as i grab the pump, a small piece of metal (part of the pump) cut my finger which caused it to bleed. I'm just paranoid if i could get infected by HIV if someone before that with HIV got cut by the same metal and what are the chances of getting infected? anyway the pump was not being use for approximately 15 minutes as i was waiting in queue for it.

HIV is not infectious outside the body. It is unable to infect through inatimate objects.
