Hiv exposure from nose pricking

Recently i went to massage parlour where the lady offered me massage and i was squeezing her boobs pressing but my concern is that she had huge burn on her arms near boobs which she covered with clothes but if some blood got to her boobs and then to my hands and i pricked my nose as my inside nose was injured i don't know whether i pricked my nose or not or there was blood in her boobs from her arms or not but i have covered my nose from mask is i am at risk, the burn was on her arms not boobs but burn was large and old burn .

The only risks for HIV in adults are:
1) Having unprotected anal or vaginal sex, or
2) sharing intravenous needles with IV drug users.

NOTHING else you can think of would put you at risk for HIV.  You cannot get HIV from touching blood or fluids, and then touching ANY of your body parts, including your nose.  If you do not engage in one of the two risks I mentioned above, you will NEVER have to worry about HIV.
