contracting HIV

hello,
I recently was at a party and was snorting cocaine through a straw with other people. It wasnt until after I became aware that one of the party was HIV positive. about 1 hour after we had shared the straw i had a slight nose bleed. Is there any chance that I may have contracted the virus?

There are no risks of contracting HIV from snorting coke from dollars, straws or rolled up paper the risk is possible HCV transmission.
