The only activities that could put you at risk for HIV are:
1) unprotected, penetrative anal or vaginal sex, or
2) sharing IV drug needles.
There is no "what if" scenario that could make this a risk for HIV. You had zero risk from this event. If you avoid the two activities I mentioned above, you will NEVER have to worry about HIV.
