Brief Answer:
Not possible.
Detailed Answer:
Dear Costisor,
Welcome to HCM.
The survival of HIV virus in dried blood or outside the human body is very difficult and it will die only in few seconds. Also the way of HIV transmission you had mentioned is practically not possible and I have never seen any such case in my practice so allay the fear or anxiety related to HIV as you are safe and risk free. If still any query is there you can ask me again and I am here to help you always.
Thank You
