I am so sorry .

First, I am frome a developing country ,  somewhere the health condition is very poor . Specially , when you have to receive intramuscular injection in the hospital nurses often injected last patient  with Green enzyme skin test then changes needle but not change syringe. So former patient shared the same medicament and syringe with the backward . If this action will take an hiv danger ?
   Second, yesterday one of my employee and I took a big furniture to upstairs . Unfortunately we were wound our right hands. He run downstairs rive the stopcock with the wounded hand and the blood stick to the stopcock .I rive the stopcock with my wounded hand again to wash my hand in a second and my wound catch he's fresh blood .My question is if my employee is a hiv ,do I have a hiv risk ?

HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions; therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.

HIV is transmitted by;
Unprotected penetrative anal and/or vaginal sex
Sharing works with other IV drug abusers
Mother to child
