Please reply worried lot about hiv

Hi doctor, I went for blood test. The lady in the lab took my blood and she was not wearing fresh gloves. While putting band aid she had touched middle of band aid and I observed there was no blood in the gloves. Am I infected with HIV from this.

Even if she did touch other objects used for HIV infected patients, you would not have had a risk. HIV is not transmitted that way.
