Beauty Parlour Incident

Dear all,
            Based on this incident pls confirm the possibility of HIV infection.Few days back my girl friend went to parlour to do her eyebrows(trimming eyebrows) & while doing it she got hurt & there was some bleeding in the eyebrow region & the beauty parlour lady touched with her bare finger the place where exactly the fresh wound happened & it was bleeding.My girl friend did'nt notice at that time whether the parlour lady has any cuts/wounds with bleeding in her finger.Now am worried for her what if the parlour lady has a cut/wound in her finger which bleeds & if she is HIV positive?.By the way what am describing what are the possibilities of my girl friend also getting infected by that lady.Am totally worried after this incident & planning her to take her for  a HIV test.Pls guide me on this.

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.

HIV is transmitted by;
Unprotected penetrative anal and/or vaginal sex
Sharing works with other IV drug users
Mother to child
