Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
If you habe any blood to blood contact or sexual contact with hic infected person then there is chance of infection. Otherwise no need to worry about that. Hiv and synovial tuberculosis can not spread by sharing room cloths or other objects.
No need to worry. Just be relaxed.
For confirmation you can go for hiv testing.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
