dry blood

The other day i went to go workout and notice some blood on the one of the equipment. Look like it was dry blood? Any chance of getting hiv from it. I think i touched it by accident.  Someone please respond. This is freaking me out. Do i need to get tested.

You don't need to test and you were never in any risk for HIV.

the blood  can't pass intact skin, so the hiv can't infect you and the virus dies at the air exposition.
