Risk of infection?

Hi I took a public bus and I felt some sharp object on my skin , my finger pressing against it.
I didn't bleed so I'm not sure if it cross the skin, but I'm scared I could get some disease of it like hiv.
I'm really anxious about this. Thanks

You don't have an HIV concern, HIV is not transmitted in that manner.
