HIV is inactivated in air  so it can't infect others, which means you had zero risk. No one in history got it from the activities you did.
there is no purpose in wondering if it might survive and infect you, because if it could then everyone in America who gets a cut would be infected. You need to calm down instead of vigorously gouging your ears until they bled.
