No risk. Not only would HI not survive on the file, but in the 40 years of the known worldwide HIV/AIDS epidemic, there has never been a reported case of HIV transmitted by skin injury during a cosmetic procedure. It doesn't happen, or so rarely that you should ignore it.

HIV transmission is highly unlikely in described scenario. HIV related anxiety is likely otherwise and you should discuss options with your primary care doc. Check cdc.gov for reliable information regarding HIV transmission.
