No HIV Risk: Hiv paranoia is a common mental illness that many of us on health tap are dealing with on a daily basis. The scenario you describe is not in any way a risk for HIV infection or a way that HIV is transmitted. Your skin is a good barrier. In thirty years of this worldwide epidemic the 'casual' contacts in the household of HIV patients do not get infected regardless of their daily contacts.
