The only risks for HIV in adults are:
1) Having unprotected (no condom) penetrative anal or vaginal sex, OR
2) Sharing IV drug equipment with other IV drug users.
If you don't do any of those activities with someone of unknown status, or of known HIV+ status, you will NEVER have to worry about HIV.
