Wine and HIV

Theoretically is someone were to put HIV infected blood in wine and it sat for a bit and u drank the wine, without knowing, with a fever blister could I get HIV?
I'm struggling so please be nice in your comments. I think I'm developing OCD and I'm about to start medical school. We left a bottle of opened wine alone for like 20 minutes in a cabinet I'm a hostel. Scared someone did something, no proof.

Thanks

a statement that is used often is from the CDC...stating that "HIV in unable to survive outside its living host" now a glass of wine isn't a living host therefore unable to infect you, it needs cells to survive, not a glass of wine

Experts' studies. And there's a paid forum for that here on MedHelp if you're not convinced, answered by experts who have been there in the field for decades.

Is there proof for that?

HIV becomes immediately uninfectious when exposed to the air, let alone put into fluid like wine. After all, those caught doing so can go to jail. Please keep that in mind when your OCD tells you you'll be exposed to HIV risk that way.
