Brief Answer:
No there is no Possibility

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for your query.

HIV as type 1 or 2 can only be transmitted from an infected person to another from direct contact of bodily fluids such as:
Blood
Semen
Vaginal discharge
Breast milk
Hence if you haven't direct contact of these bodily fluids you have no chance to be infected.

All the best
