no gloves when removing iv needle

no gloves when removing iv needle

when i was leaving the hospital yesterday the nurse removed my iv needle using a piece of gauze without gloves. if she had hiv blood on her hand from another patient or a cut on her hand and she was hiv positive can the blood go through the gauze and into my vein and contract hiv or would the virus become inactive being exposed to the air and light?
