Unknown status friend tried on my bike gloves (not sure if he had blood or cut in his hands) let say did. then, i worn them 10-15 mins after; without thinking that i had a 3 hours old tiny wounded on my palm. does this put me in hiv risk?

It is unlikely. The first question would be, "Does my friend have HIV"? If not there is no risk. "Is it being treated"? If so there is minimal risk. Even if your friend is untreated and HIV +, you will likely not be infected, but should then see your physician.

No, there is no HIV transmission risk in above scenario from inanimate surfaces. Check cdc.gov hiv-transmission for clarification.
