What Are The Chances Of HIV Transmission Through Inanimate Objects?

Hi Doctor, I have OCD and am constantly worried about getting HIV. My newest concern is this: I let my friend, who is sexually active and promiscuous and never gets tested, use my hot wax to wax her eyebrows. Is it possible for HIV to be transmitted in this way? If she maybe bled a little and double dipped her stick or something? Thank you for your time.
