In your previous question which was also no risk, we told you what the risks are for HIV transmission. They haven't changed. 1. unprotected vaginal sex, 2. unprotected anal sex or 3, sharing IV drug needles to inject drugs.  Air and saliva inactivate the virus. Apply this to each and every touching hiv whether on metal, someone's hand, etc. that you have in the future to remind yourself  ZERO risk of HIV
