need to know more transfer HIV

HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions; therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host. (CDC)
1 /so a few drops of fresh blood outside the body are not infectious immediately ??
human body is the host of HIV ??
2/eg using my fingers ,This finger contact with blood infected with HIV from the bleeding wounds of people with HIV.and Immediately cut it to contact the blood of my skin cumbersome
Is this a risk?
I am not understand is unknown on pattern ra outside of it server ,immediately it is not contagious
my english is not good...hope everyone can understand what I write and help me understand the transmission of HIV...
thanks all

There can be a risk for HIV or another blood-borne infection (like Hepatitis B or C) if the instruments used for piercing or tattooing either are not sterilized or disinfected properly between uses. Im sorry if im wrong.

what I said is wrong??
I do not understand much about HIV transmission
How long does fresh blood leaves its host before it touches the other injuries not transmit HIV
immediately with the small quantity ??
I will not bother you anymore with this question only
Thanks

Because I have read many posts here advice is not at risk
infected blood from a finger stick to healthy skin
and only after 2 or 3 seconds of this finger is touching up the skin incision
No risk?  because once exposed to air...hiv becomes inactive and unable to infect.
Is this certainly
I used google translate,sorry
I like the professionalism in this forum,the doctors are very good,all very good and enthusiastic
Thanks all

That was total BS. There has never been anyone infected with HIV by tattooing or piercings.

Possible but unlikely, risk is theoretical - find one person who has been infected in this manner - it probably can't be done. You have a better chance if winning the lottery

humans are hosts to HIV. YES. Skin contact with HIV infected substances like blood, saliva and sexual fluids is harmless as our skin protects us. and yes if u cut yourself with the blood on it is likely u might get infected. iv needles and even tatooing equipment can transmit HIV just as easily. so exposing your cut skin to HIV blood in the way u described it might pose risk to infection.
