Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
As I said it is a small superficial wound that won’t cause any problem.
Even if you had contact with somebody as in hand shaking or touching somebody it may not cause any problems.
HIV or contagious infections get transmitted only through direct body fluid contact, in your case it is not possible.
Hope I have answered your query.

Hiv rash see the red mark
doctor
Answered by Dr. Shinas Hussain (3 days later)
Brief Answer:
It is not HIV rash

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have gone through the photos.
It is a minor inflammatory reaction and not an HIV rash.
You are so much worried about HIV, there absolutely no chance for HIV transmission.
If you are much worried you can opt for an HIV screening just for reassurance.

Hope I have answered your query.
Thanks
