Hi!
HIV/AIDS is a disease transmitted through sexual contact, infected blood or from mother to baby in her womb. It is unlikely to be transmitted through use of shared nail clipper. Also, you do not know whether the nail clipper was used by an infected person or not. But yes, since there was injury and blood, its good you tested for HIV. Take care!
