Anxiety and worry

I recently had blood drawn and I noticed the lady taking it had a somewhat open cut on her finger and did not have gloves on. She was cleaning the blood from where she drew blood from me and I'm concerned. If she had any blood that could of came into contact with the needle poke blood she was cleaning from me could that pose a risk?  I'm pregnant and very worried. Thank you

Hi,
There is no risk of hiv transmission for this incident.
HIV can be transmitted via unprotected vaginal or/and anal penetration, sharing IV works in drugs and from mother to child
Take care
