torn cuticle risk

torn cuticle risk

1 week ago  i may have gotten pre-*** on a torn cuticle i dont know for sure but i did feel somthing on the back of my finger and wiped my hand on my shorts straight away treating it as i got it on the cuticle the wound was at least a few hours old it was a very small wound about (1mm)  very small but still worried ) and never saw it bleed but was saw to touch i got home and washed and dried my hands and squeezed the wound it took alot of squeezing to make something come out (clear liquid) and 10 min later squeezed again and a little tiny speck of blood  came out .

is there a risk of hiv  was the wound sealed seeing it was a few hours old and it took alot of squeezing to get something out

i read on another post the dr said that wounds start to seal off within 1 hour

whats the risk of exposure i am very worried

i am still very worried because the reply i got from my last post said hiv dies as soon as it hits the air and i read that it takes a few hours to die.
