hiv from bone fragments

hiv from bone fragments

I realize this sounds to be a silly question but I am concerned and would appreciate a response. I was eating a gummy bear candy which I had gotten from an open bin at a store and I bit down on a hard white colored piece in the candy which fractured my tooth and punctured my gum. It resembled a bone fragment. If this had been a bone fragment and it had come from someone who is hiv positive what would be the chances of me getting hiv from this fragment puncturing my gum and some of it remaining wedged in my tooth and the virus from the bone fragment absorbing into my blood stream? Can bone fragments from hiv positive individuals transmit hiv? I read that scientists have found hiv in bone marrow and in bone as well.

I lost your comment about my chance of being abducted by aliens as more realistic as this and there being zero risk.
