Nose Cut

While picking my nose i accidentallt cuted my nose membrane and it started bleeding,at that time my friend touched accidentally my nose while rising his hand and one of his fingers touched my nose,what if his finger was bleeding and it touched my cut in nose would this cause any risk.Also i wanted to know if small cuts in mouth or nose membrane are considered entry points for hiv

There is NO RISK in any of scenarios you've described. That is simply not how HIV is transmitted.

Thank you Ruby,also i know that superficial wound dont pose risk for hiv transsmission but does this mean that also wounds in membranes like in nose ore mouth need to be large and deep to pose risk.Does this mean that even small actively bleeding cuts in mouth ore nose dont pose a risk
You've got to keep your hiv phobia in check before it consumes you. Exposure to air deactivates the virus. You had no risk.
