From yourself?: Do you believe you can get an infection from yourself? From the accident you had? Do you really believe that HIV lives on surfaces and can infect through skin? Hiv is not in any way of any concern in the scenario you describe. Hiv in not caught through skin. It is caught from direct semen or blood to your internal crevices and tissues.
