The manicurist filed my nails until my fingers bled. i don't know if there was blood on the file, but it couldn't have been fresher than 10 hours. what are the chances of getting hiv?

HIV does not survive long outside of infected host and likely not on the file you noted so HIV infection won't happen in that scenario.
