blood in mouth

Hey I'm new here few questions.

I got a cut on my finger put a bandage on it was not a big deal..bout an hour later there was no blood coming out of the cut but changed bandaid. I'm at work and I deal with alot of money/people well...I start eating a piece of a candy bar and notice blood on the bandaid..checked my cut there was no blood on my cut or on the inside of the bandaid. Few questions..

1)Would even be alive before I ate the candy bar?

2)Could I injest and infect?

3)Lastly and more broadly can it get in my gums and go undetected like chocolate gets in my tooth can it I've in my teeth and not be able to be seen on a blood test? Sounds crazy I was jw tho! Lmk

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

you had NO risk and do not need testing.

Does blood from another person getting my bandaid and me touching my food with it put me at any risk? That was my question. I was not trying to come off as rude either in just ignorant towards the virus. I didn't know if it could some how live in your mouth and teeth and go un detected. I was just curious. I notice teak gave good info. And wanted knowledge.
