Hello! Hope you are doing fine. HIV infection transmit through unprotected sexual intercourse, exposure to infected blood, or perinatal transmission and lesser risk of transmission includes blood transfusion, needle stick, mucous membrane exposure to HIV infected blood (Splash to eye) and human bite. In your case no exposure to blood so less likely to get HIV but to be sure just get tested.
