Hi
Thanks for your question
The chance of HIV virus surviving in open air is very less.
HIV is transmitted by doing an unprotected sex with an HIV positive person.
In your case you had vaginal fluids on your hands and you have used the same hands after they are dried so there is no chance of contracting an HIV.
