Unlikely : Transmission of HIV virus is unlikely to occur under the circumstances you have presented. If you are positive for the virus, it would be responsible for you to make sure your fluids have been cleaned to reduce the exposure to others. If I have misunderstood your question, please repost so a more appropriate answer can be posted.
