Possibility of hiv infection

My mother was basic diagnosed with hiv. Her diagnosis sheet wrote GP160. I confirm that  She has no other way to infected with hiv. But only one possibility:
She has a  bleeding wound in her hand, and she wash my wife's bed sheet with Menstrual blood.
My wife and I have not been tested for HIV.  
I want to ask is there any possibility to infected with hiv in this way(She has a  bleeding wound in her hand, and she wash my wife's bed sheet with Menstrual blood)?

Your question was fully answered that you could not get HIV from this worry you have.  There is nothing our members can add to NO RISK.

She was using her hand to wash the bed sheet and her hand had blooding wround. So the action was her blooding rub the bed sheet repeatly.

That doesn't change the answer.  NO RISK. You didn't have sexual contact of having unprotected intercourse, vaginal or anal with your mom did you? And you didn't inject drugs with a needle she had previously used, did you?  So, EVERYTHING  else is not a risk. her blood could be all over those sheets and you could lay in it and it would still be NO RISK.

This is not a risk in ANY way. Blood on sheets would never infect you no matter what.  AIR inactivates the virus.  That she washed the sheets too, and you think there was blood in the washer or blood in her hands, any blood at all would NOT be a way HIV is transmitted. You are worried and scared for nothing. Remember this . . . HIV is transmitted in specific ways.  SEXUAL contact of having unprotected vaginal or anal sex (without condom that means and including penetration) and sharing IV needles to inject drugs.  THAT IS IT.  Nothing else is going to be a risk.
