HELP!!!! HIV through water

I recently used a public shower at a beach. The shower basin was full of water form previous people and I stepped in it and took a shower for about 15 sec. I forgot I had a day-old cut on my foor not healed yet. I washed the cut with hand disinfectant which produced slight stinging after about 5 minutes. What do you think is the risk for HIV or hepatitis?

Please help I am really nervous!!!!
