Staple on Card HIV

There was this card with an open staple on it on my door step and I cut my finger on it. If the person who sent this card had HIV and pricked their finger on it, is it possible for me to get HIV.

You cannot get HIV from objects or environmental surfaces, under any condition, EVER.  HIV transmission requires unprotected vaginal or anal sex, or sharing of IV drugs/drug works...that's IT!
