HIV is transmitted through exchange of body fluids, usually blood and sexual intercourse. What you described is not a risk factor for HIV transmission.

No, HIV transmission is not possible in above described scenario, respectively from inanimate surfaces, direct contact would be needed. Check cdc.gov for reliable information regarding HIV transmission.
