Brief Answer:
No

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome To Ask A Doctor Service
I have gone through your question, I understand your concern.
No, there are very less chances or even unlikely, because HIV virus does not survive more than 1 hour outside body.
I hope your query is clear now.
Thanks and regards
