Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
If you noticed the drop of blood, and since you are very aware, I highly doubt that you would then have touched it.
If it was on the towel and dried, then there is low risk. HIV does not live on inanimate objects or other surfaces for very long.

Detailed Answer:
I wouldn't worry about it having contacted your mouth as that does not sound like something that is possible to have happened incidentally. Further, HIV does not simply spread that way.
HIV really requires specific circumstances - sexual contact (intercourse), contact with fresh blood such as someone working in the hospital, or sharing needles with someone who has HIV. Other situations do not pose a risk. So please - no need to worry here.
