mysterious liquid! any risk?

thanks for helping,
as you may see in my other posts, i spent some hours in a hiv clinic handling some blood-filled rapid tests and other items without gloves, no needlestick or direct blood contact as far as can remember, everybody told me NO RISK.
BUT, because of my anxiety, the clinic's nurse gave me a bottle of a liquid which was exactly like water, and told me to wash my hand with it without rinsing with water.
as you may noticed, the nurse was not a trustable and good healthcare worker, else she wouldn't ask me to assist her with testing a known hiv positive person without gloves,,,SO i am worried if she gave me a wrong solution to wash my hands with it by mistake, or what if by intention,,,i mean what if that liquid was hiv infected? or what if it was hiv virus itself? the bottle she gave me did not have any label, she had told me that it was not the real main bottle of the solution.
i should remind that i had a big wound on my finger which belonged to one week before that day,,,and i washed both my hands with that solution,
is there any risk from washing my hands with that mysterious solution?  thanks again,

maybe you are right, but now i think "no risk" means:
no need for testing, and can have unprotected sex with my wife without worrying of infecting ger, and that you have read all my previous posts i posted in last days and today,,,, maybe it's time to forget about hiv now, i hope i can forget it!
thanks,

so, you think can i resume unprotected sex with my wife, if we regard all things i described as my only exposure? i have avoided sex with her for several weeks,
and do you think i have hiv phobia?
thanks again,
