please!!please help me

English is not my native language, so please forgive my poor english. thank you. I've got several situations .I am wondering if there is any possibilities to catch hiv?
1. Should I be worried unknown cuts, scrapes and so on ? Sometimes I don't even know how I get those cuts(bleeding) ,should i be worried touching infected secretions or blood ?

2. Because of the weather condition (winter), it is very dry in the air, so my nose usually bleeds,which means there are open wounds inside my nose. And I have a bad habit picking  my nose. Should I be worried that I touch some infected secretion or blood before I pick my nose with open wounds?

3.The other day, I found my pants (underwear) with some unknown dried secretion on it. The position is just right to my vagina. It was 15 hours I found this unknown dried secretion after I wore this underwear. I don't think this secretion came from me, because that time was not my ovulation period. So is it possible my underwear had 'something' on it when my maid sevant had it dried outside my house.?Then i didn't notice and I wore it.

4. The other day I go to a stand to buy a bagel.I saw the man who made the bagel had a fresh cut on his finger, and there was a drop or two blood dropped on the bagel. I don't know what came over my head and I ate the bagel.
If this man had HIV, should I be worried? I do not know if I had sores or wounds inside my mouth and stomach that time.

If someone can help me, thank you sooooooo much !! These days I cannot even focus on anything.

hiv is not transmitted outside it's host.  once exposed to air, it becomes inactive and unable to infect.

as far as your underwear?  totally irrational to be thinking that the stain/whatever was not yours !
