Your daughter is not at risk. A person cannot get HIV from environmental surfaces. Also, you cannot assume, just because your friend has had many partners that she is infected...chances are she is not.
Lastly....do not EVER put bleach on an open wound!!!!!! If anything YOU could have caused your daughter harm by doing that. Good old soap and water is sufficient to wash out any cut. Bleach is a very caustic household cleaner, it is not designed to be used as an antiseptic.
