if poked with speaker wire and fishing hook?

hi,i was helping someone hook up a car sterio and u know how them wires prick your fingers allmost like a needle,and he may have got poked allso before me and allso i going threw the trunk i may have got stuck with a fishing hook,and he may have to i cant rember that day it was no big deal i think he may got poked with the hook im not sure about me but if so it was 5 to 10 min till i did if i did.then i found out 3 weeks later he has hiv..thats when i tryed to think if there was any time that i could be exposed,and i rembered that day i wish i knew then i would have been more careful and would have treated it.only if i could rember if i got hooked or if he got hooked after me,well does anyone know if hiv cant spread outside the body does it really stop infecting after exposed to air,like they say ,if so how long before your safe hours or sec? im so worried people tell me take test but its to scary and to soon anyway if you can get it this way  then if you work in a sterio installing place with a hiv person your bad...or if you go fishing with some one with hiv u will sooner or later gone get poked..

Instantly,HIV is a fragile and extremely weak virus once outside the body.It becomes damaged right away.

"it dont make sence but i hope you guys are rite i hope your not just not trying to make me feel better.. "

You have to be joking right? We are talking about HIV not spilling milk. We do not make people feel better we give them the truth.

Let me tell you that if you had an exposure you would be told that you had an exposure and needed testing whether it made you feel good or not.

Then we can't help you. What more can we do? Told you why it is not a risk, gave you multiple explainiations. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink...basically we can't make you understand. Either you do or you don't, it's not going to change and we are not going to keep answering the same question again and again.

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.
