Brief Answer:
No chance of HIV infection............ Be relaxed.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your query and here is my advice.
As per your history there is no chance of HIV infection.
Usually HIV transmits through, direct blood contact, direct body fluid contact, contaminated injectables, unprotected sexual contact with the infected person.
As there is no such direct contact in your case, and even the nurse cleansed her hands properly, so no need to worry about it. There is no chance of HIV infection. So be calm and relax.
Hope I have answered your query, let me know if I can assist you further.
