Wound from blood draw

Hi! How's everything?

So a week ago I had a body examination and got a little wound from the blood draw process. Two days after that, I had dinner with my friend who was HIV+.  During the dinner, my friend touched my wound ( the one I got from the blood draw) by accident and my question is: if my friend had a cut on her hand and thus had some of her blood on her fingers, would I be at risk?

I sincerely appreciate your help!

No. Touching or being touched are not risks.
