Can i get hiv from tissue paper?

Hi
Today i used some tissue paper to wipe my oily face after checking i noticed very small 2 dots of blood on that tissue paper seemed pretty red i thought it could be from me but i have some fear of hiv what if it was from someone who was hiv + who got blood on it? is there any chance of transmission ?because i had a small pimple bleeding and that tissue paper box was mine i used lot of tissues of it i bought it more than 25 days ago.
One more thing The tissue paper I used was in the middle of the box

1.Do you think that tissue paper got oxygen because it was placed in the middle of the box?

1. Will hiv virus live outside the body
    more than 25 days?

2. Did the tissue paper get the oxygen
     into that tissue to kill the virus?
     because it was inside the box

Please clear my doubts i am very scared

Thank you.

Reread about the only ways to get hiv since the word "only" presents a roadblock to your questions. .

Besides if hiv lives for 25 days then we would all have it by now.

Yes you are right but the tissue I used was inside the box so can that tissue get oxygen even it is inside the box?

Reread about only. Consider therapy for your hiv fixation which is a bit of a mental illness at this point since you have been told the only risks 3 times now (within 2 months.)
It is time to move on instead of continuing to ask questions that are irrelevant - however it seems you can't move on so see a therapist.

You can't get HIV from a tissue. All your previous posts stated the risks. Unprotected vaginal or anal sex or sharing IV drug needles to inject drugs.  I say with care, you may want to discuss your anxiety with a professional to receive some coping skills so this doesn't keep bothering you. But, no risk.
