Today on my way home i took a taxi ride home. as i had almost reached home i noticed the conductor had wound on his hand. i moved for me to pass.there was no body contact. i also have wound on my hand but i had covered with a plaster. can i get hiv?

No: HIV transmission is not possible in above described scenario- no skin to skin contact. A fight-or-flight response appears likely given circumstances and relates to HIV anxiety that can feed into panic disorder.
