is this a risk of HIV?

My dog had a strange blood looking drop in her chin, after having played with my human hiv positive friend. When she came to me, I noticed the drop, but didn´t think much of it. However, she always kisses me and gets her face all over mine. I am scared that the fresh drop in her chin could have been blood and it could have gotten inside my eye when she came greet me.

In the worse case scenario that it was fresh HIV positive blood on her chin, and that it got in my eye when she greeted me, would I be at risk of HIV?

I know of a very few cases of succesive dog bites resulting in HIV transmission (shorturl.at/jpzPV) , but I guess my scenario is very different, so I am a bit confused. Could you clarify why in my scenario there is or there isn´t risk?

Thank you so much for your help

Your situation involves personal contact with an object in air  (dog, blood, etc. which is not a risk for hiv.). No hiv worries, because you can't get hiv from personal contact except unprotected penetrating vaginal or anal, neither of which you did and you didn't share hollow needles to inject with which is the only other way to acquire hiv. Analysis of large numbers of infected people over the 40 years of hiv history has proven that people don't get hiv in the way you are worried is a risk.
HIV is a fragile virus in air or saliva and is effectively instantly dead in either air or saliva so the worst that could happen is dead virus rubbed you, and obviously anything which is dead cannot live again so you are good. Blood and cuts would not be relevant in your situation since the hiv has become effectively dead, so you don't have to worry about them to be sure that you are safe.
There is no reason for a person to test when they are safe. The advice took into consideration that the other person might be positive, so move on and enjoy life instead of thinking about this non-event. Next time you wonder if you had a risk, ask yourself if you did any of the 3, then after you say "Nope, I didn't" then it's time to move on back to your happy life. Your dog doesn't have any risk either from eating hiv blood.

Nope, you can not get IV from your dog's chin that had a blood  drop on it.  The only ways adults get HIV is from having unprotected vaginal or anal sex or sharing IV drug needles.  Air inactivates the virus. There is ZERO repeat NONE, ZERO, NADA risk from acquiring HIV from blood on your dog's chin.
