Porential HIV exposure - help please

I got motorbike accident in Thailand where i filled down I got many big wounds in the back neck and shoulder.

I received first aid from Thai lady where she cleaned the wound and applied betadin.

I have few questions here;

I touched the wounds by my hands where I on that day I checked hand with many people, so is there any risk for HIV transmission.

What in case the safety hamlet that I where hAd been used with another person HIV positive and was injured in the same area, is there any risk for HIV transmission.

And last questions in case the lady that provided me the first aid was HIV positive and her finger was bleeding is their any risk for transmission HIV to me.

Sorry for my english language as it is not my first language.

Since yesterday I got sever fever and throat pain, does that can be considered as HIV symptoms.  I remember another incident when I was in Thailand where when I was in massage center the massage lady touched my urethra.

If you were in a lab using special temperatures and gases (not air) then you could preserve HIV for days, but that didn't happen.
You had only air contact which instantly inactivates HIV so reread my advice for answers to your new posts..
Nothing left to say.
Thank u very much

You haven't ever read about it ever happening because it didn't happen otherwise everyone in the world would be infected. HIV is inactivated in air which means it can't infect, so blood drops can't infect outside the human body.

Thank u for the reply.  I read before that HIV can be survived outside the human body for 4-7 days.
Nope. That's in a laboratory environment. It doesn't happen in the real world. AnxiousNoMore is right in his assessment. Put this episode behind you and move on.

Be well.
