No HIV risk at all from such cases.

HIV is only transmissible from unprotected vaginal/anal sex, sharing needle, or from mother to infant.

HIV is not transmitted through environmental surfaces or inanimate objects.  once exposed of air...hiv becomes inactive and unable to infect.

you had no risk and testing is not needed.
