Worry about HIV

Ask everybody, the first joint of the right index finger has a fresh cut of 0.6 CM. The trash bag that someone else has just lost, water marks on the garbage, i don't knowing whether it is saliva or blood. Can you tell me that the fresh wound of 0.6 cm is infected with the body fluids or blood on the newly lost trash bag,will be infected with HIV?

HIV is instantly inactivated in air and also in saliva for that matter, otherwise all of America would be infected from workplace and leisure open cuts,                                    
      but in fact no one gets HIV from cuts or from what you did and lots of people have stuck their hand into some blood that an HIV person dripped. Just dripping the blood inactivates it from the air contact.

You had zero risk.

Reading the advice repeatedly focusing on the word no until the full meaning is apparent rather than rephrasing your question for no useful purpose.
thank you!I worry too much about infection hiv!I hope you understand!thank you!
You have a very slim probability of getting flesh eating disease every time you get a cut but never think about that.

You have zero chance of HIV with your cut, yet you wasted your week worrying about it.
