This is a very low to no risk scenario for contracting HiV/AIDS. I am assuming that you do not have any open wounds coming into contact with the blood. Moreover, you do not know the status of that blood Transmission generally requires intimate contact with a high viral load individual, mucosal exposure or blood stream exposure such as in injection drug use. If you are worried, you can always test

If you had your sneakers on HIV transmission is not possible. A stress reaction is possible that might have worsened preexisting health (HIV) related anxiety.
