: You are more likely to get hit by lightening than getting HIV from what you described. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health! Safe sex: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/wellness-and-prevention/safer-sex

HIV is blood borne, not bacterial. No blood on device, no cuts on your face, no HIV transmission.
