This sounds like you may have a phobia around blood?  Is this correct?  And health anxiety about blood and HIV?  This situation is most certainly a figment of anxiety because realistically, how or why would blood splash off of a surface like a light switch and into your eye? Was it the scene of a homicide? No.  This simply put didn't happen.

But the good news is that even if it did (it didn't), it would not be a risk for HIV.  HIV is transmitted by having unprotected vaginal or anal sex or sharing IV drug needles.  Transmission takes place INSIDE the body and air inactivates the virus.  So, a splash that you describe would not transmit HIV.  

My suggestion is to speak to your doctor about blood fears and hiv fears as they relate to anxiety disorders.
