Just a curious question.

Brief Answer:
No risk of HIV or any other STD.
Detailed Answer:

The survival of HIV virus outside the human body or in an open environment is very difficult and it will die within minutes only so there is no risk in the exposure you had mentioned. Allay the fear or anxiety of getting HIV or any other STD because you are absolutely safe and risk free.

Thanks. That makes a lot of sense.
As i understand it is almost impossible to be transferred from blood object like a food or drink with blood mixed in it,
Even with presence of mouth ulcers or cuts in mouth rite?

Brief Answer:
Yes it is very unlikely or you can say not possible.
Detailed Answer:
Dear,
HIV virus is not transmitted through food or drink with blood mixed with it because as I said its survival is very difficult outside the human body and human saliva is also not the fluid which transmits HIV so you need not to worry at all. Calm down, forget about the episode and move on in life happily. For any further query feel free to ask me again.
