Transmission Risk From Battery Powered Nose Hair Trimmer

Is there any risk of getting HIV while using a battery powered nose hair trimmer, that cut the inside of my nose and that caused bleeding inside my nose, if the same nose hair trimmer had been used by another person that may be HIV positive and may have also cut themselves while using using the trimmer and got their blood on the nose hair trimmer blades before I used the same nose hair trimmer?

No matter what amount of time passed between the time that person used the nose hair clipper and when I used it?
