Brief Answer:
nothing to worry

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the follow up.
Yes I have seen the photograph.
Hiv can be transferred only when there is contact of blood.
The other person also should have cut in his hand to transfer hiv.
Just relax you are totally safe.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you
