HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions; therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.

HIV is transmitted by;
Unprotected penetrative anal and/or vaginal sex
Sharing works with other IV drug users
Mother to child

Hi and welcome. No your not at risk. Hiv is not transmitted that way. And even more important when it comes to touching things. Hands have very thick and hard skin and can prevent most anything from entering the body.
