Little or no risk: There is no risk for all practical purposes. Such infection theoretically might occur, but it has never been known to happen, even once in the 40 years and millions of infected people in the known world wide HIV/AIDS epidemic. You won't be the first. Also, the chance any particular person in UAE has HIV is almost zero. This is not something to worry or even think about.

HIV: Yes, there is a possibility of infection but extremely unlikely . Unfortunately I cannot give you a percentage of possibility
