No risk, no worry: Nobody in the world ever caught HIV in this way. The household members of people with HIV never catch it, even after years of sharing kitchens, toilets, eating utensils, etc. The virus is never acquired from a conttaminated environment. Also, having a manicure is no risk; nobody ever caught HIV that way, even if instruments were not cleaned between customers. Don't worry about it.
