Risk for hiv after cut

[Mari822]

Good evening I was in Dominican Republic and as I was exiting the car I got cut by a metal piece sticking out I started bleeding it wasn’t a deep cut but enough to bleed a little .. however I noticed that he women that exited the car before me was also cut by that same metal piece .. I just would like to know if she was cut before me about a minute before and her blood got on the metal and then I got cut a minutes later on the same metal is there a risk for hiv.. i asked one of those online doctor and he said I was at risk

Right, even if her blood was on the metal, you would not have to worry about HIV.  This is not a risk.

I’m sorry I’m a little confused with what the internet says why is it that it says you can get hiv from razors or and sharp object wouldn’t the virus have died already ? I’m just trying to determine the difference

You can read anything on the internet, so if you Google for death there you will always be confused. In fact you can find someone on the internet who will tell you that you can die from whatever you tell them you plan to do in the next 10 minutes.
We rely on the opinion of expert doctors and do not pay attention to the claims of all the  sites out there that you or anyone else locates. It is ridiculous to think people get HIV from shaving and sharp objects when the virus is dead.

The online doctor must be part of a scam because you had no risk, so are safe and do not need to test.
HIV is instantly inactivated in air and also in saliva which means it is effectively dead so it can't infect from touching, external rubbing or oral activities. It doesn't matter if you and they were actively bleeding or had cuts at the time either because the HIV is effectively dead.  
Only 3 adult risks are the following:
1. unprotected penetrating vaginal
2. unprotected penetrating anal sex
3. sharing needles that you inject with. Knowing these 3 are all you need to know to protect yourself against HIV. Your situation is a long way from any of these 3.
Even with blood, lactation, cuts, rashes, burns, etc the air or the saliva does not allow inactivated virus to infect from touching, external rubbing or oral activities. The above HIV science is 40 years old and very well established so there is no detail that you can add that will make your encounter a risk for HIV. No one got HIV from the situation you encountered in 40 years and likely no one will in the next 40 of your life, so there in no more likelihood of HIV transmission happening than of you getting hit by a meteor as you read this.

So even if her blood on the metal had not been there more then a min when it scraped me  I would be at no risk
