Am i at risk?

so i went to a medical lab where they take blood, and i had a 3 day old third degree burn near my wrist and it was bleeding very slightly in a tiny spot, and my sleeves touched the front desk of that place and the sleeves touched the wound near my wrist, im worried that the desk was contaminated with all the patients blood after they touch the desk with the hand they used to hold down the cotton ball to stop the bleeding.
There was no visible blood stop at the desk.

am i at any risk, should i get tested again?

I don't believe you are at any risk. I'd relax completely if I were you.
