No : Hiv transmission possible with unprotected sex with infected partner, HIV positive mother can transmit to baby if did not take mediacal treatment , infected sharing of needle for drug abuser, very rare transmission through blood and blood products ( not in usa), you did good job to have tetanus vaccine.
