Can i contract HIV through sniffing panties?

I ordered some used panties with secretions on them  from a girl on the internet.  it took about six days for delivery and these panties were sealed in a plastic bag. when i opened the package, i sniffed but i did not touch these panties because i was wearing gloves. is it possible for me to contract HIV through just sniffing? i am concerned because these panties were sealed and is it possible for HIV virus to survive in that sort of environment? Please help me, thank  you.

It is instantly inactivated in air not like a cold that can live for weeks when someone sneezes on a doorknob. That is why everyone gets colds but not many get HIV.
