Yes I am sure, no need for any test. HIV and Hepatitis B and C never spread through sharing such objects like hookah

Sharing Hookah or Sheesha does not put you at any risk of HIV. The virus needs blood streams for contact, when it comes to non sexual contact. Secondly, HIV is too fragile to survive outside its host.
