I am not sure if my question went through. can i get hiv from non steralized pedicure utensils, like nail file and cutter. i did not get a visible cut, but still very worried that i am at risk. please help?

I would imagine unlikely as there has to be contact with blood. So should be fine if no visible cut.

No risk. In the 40 years of the worldwide HIV/AIDS epidemic, this has never been known to happen. Don't worry about it.
