Can hiv be spread at nail salon or makeup counter (try on makeup)? lip gloss and nail polish are liquid, so virus not exposed to air. chapped lips?

No risk, no worries: It is probable that nobody in the world ever caught HIV from something like this. If you don't have unprotected sex with partners at risk, and do not share drug injection equipment with other persons, you will never be at risk. Don't worry about any other kind of exposures.
