blood on toothpicks(restaurant)

I work in a restaurant,I collected toothpicks that were used...some were a little red...
Perhaps of meat, perhaps from blood!!!..
I was not hurt, but I kept them in hand, a few seconds...
If I later touched my mouth,Can I be infected with HIV?
sorry for bad English:)

No. You cannot. HIV is only transmotted by vaginal or anal sex or by sharing IV needles.
