HIV is sensitive to high temperatures but not to extreme cold. Experiments have shown that HIV is killed by heat, but temperatures over 60°C are needed to achieve reliable killing of HIV.
Please clear about this: can hiv active on blood on surface when temprature below 60 c.

This is no risk. As I suspected, you are worried for no reason. The only way HIV can be spread in a adult is through unprotected anal/vaginal sex and sharing drug needles to inject drugs. Touching any surfaces is not a risk even if there is blood on those surfaces.

What exactly is the risk that you're so worried about? Chances are highly likely  that whatever you're afraid of isn't even a risk in the first place. HIV is never spread on surfaces and can only infect inside the body. Therefore I'm sure you likely had zero risk from whatever you're worrying about.

Blood on surfaces is never a risk. No one has ever gotten HIV from touching blood on surfaces.  Never.

As an adult, you can ONLY get HIV from:
1) having unprotected sex (anal or vaginal) or
2) sharing IV drug needles.
