Not from this : You do not know IF the conductor was HIV positive, and if was on treatment even if he did; you had NO contact; your wound was covered. There is really no chance of HIV occurrence under these circumstances. You may want to discuss these inordinate fears with a health professional so that anxiety will not ruin your life.
