You have hiv phobia. Your problem is not disease it is fear of disease. It is quite silly for you to think that a nurse gave you hiv.
It was already explained that there are only 3 risks for hiv and gloves isn't in th list. Do yourself a favor and get therapy instead of wasting so much of your life worrying about the non-events that you have posted on this forum.

If there is really blood on the nurse gloves, what is my risk, because if it was a scratch or cut I wouldn't be worried, this is a vein wound I'm afraid blood will enter the bloodstream, sr & please help me
You must be very anxious because you haven't understood any of the advice which is why you keep repeating the same thing.
You were told above "next time you wonder if you had a risk, ask yourself this QUESTION. ...."
Since you didn't answer the QUESTION I will do it for you. >>>>>>>>>> ANSWER No there wasn't a penis in my anus and mine wasn't in her vagina or anus and she didn't inject me with a hollow needle so I had no risk and should move on from hiv.

Condoms are the most effective way to prevent HIV and STDs.
PrEP is used by people with high risk to prevent HIV infection.
Can I get HIV from surfaces, like toilet seats?
Can you get HIV from casual contact, like hugging?
Frequency of HIV testing depends on your risk.
Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) may help prevent HIV infection.
HIV is a fragile virus in air or saliva and is effectively instantly dead in either air or saliva so the WORST that could happen is dead virus rubbed you, and obviously anything which is dead cannot live again so you are good. Blood and cuts would not be relevant in your situation since the hiv has become effectively dead, so you don't have to worry about them to be sure that you are safe.
There is no reason for a person to test when they are safe. The advice took into consideration that the other person might be positive, so move on and enjoy life instead of thinking about this non-event. hiv prevention is straightforward since there are only 3 ways you can become infected, so next time you wonder if you had a risk, ask yourself this QUESTION. "Did I do any of the 3?" Then after you say "No, I didn't" you will know that it's time to move on back to your happy life.
No one got hiv from what you did during 40 years of hiv history and no one will get it in the next 40 years of your life either. You can do what you did any time and be safe from hiv.
The other person's status is irrelevant when you have no exposure to live virus.
