Brief Answer:
There is no risk for HIV.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Based on your history, having just contact with something, I think you shouldn't worry because there is no risk to get HIV in this situation.
You should know that HIV cannot live outside the body just a few seconds.
So, it is not necessary to test for HIV in this situation.

Hope I have answered your query.
