HIV is never caught by these kinds of exposures. Zero risk for sure. It takes very large doses of HIV for infection to be passed from one person to another, and those large virus amounts must contact certain kinds of cells deep in the body. Even with sex between an infected an uninfected person, HIV is transmitted less than one time in a thousand. Do not give contaminated objects a second thought.
