Stabbed by sharp object

Hello,

Can anyone evaluate my risk?

A person holding a sharp object, stabbed in his hand, bleeding!
then he gave me that sharp object (almost immediately after the accident), And unlucky i also stabbed by that object ( that objective has his blood).

The time between his accident and my accident is almost immediately ( less than 5 second)

So do i have a risk of HIV infection?

Thank you so much for access my risk

This is not a risk for HIV.  HIV is transmitted in known and specific ways that include having unprotected vaginal or anal sex or sharing IV drug needles.  Stabbing with a sharp object even if right after someone will not transmit the virus. Air exposure occurs which renders the virus inactive in the off chance that the other person had hiv (which they probably didn't).  No risk and no worry.  Do you have a bit of health anxiety?
