Are There Chances Of HIV Through Virus From My Footwear ?

wanna ask that If a visited a place & next to that place is a clinic outside which some syringe covers & caps are thrown (appearing old) & I am wearing shoes & I might have stood over any syringe cap or cover ( as far as i remember i didnt stood on any but i am still taking a chance) , its rainy season but the day is sunny, I come back home with shoes on & go to the bathroom to wash hand ( it means I walked inside bathroom with my shoes on). After 2 days I take bath in that batroom (i am barefoot) & wear my undies such that a part of my toe may have slightly touched the insides of my undies & then I masturbate on that very day inside my undies (i know it very disgusting) . So is their any chance of getting STDs like hiv n all..its like i brought virus with my shoes ...they were there for 2 days in my bathroom ....i take bath...the virus stick to my soles...i put my feet inside undies & transfer the virus with my feet to the fabric of undies & then i masturbate & my penis sucks the virus through the semen i ejaculated in my undies

Hello,
Thanks for the consult..

Brief answer,
You are absolutely safe from hiv infection

Explanation,
1. You mentioned that you brought the hiv virus from the infected syringes to the bathroom and mastrubate with your feet in the same bathroom
2. HIV virus can be transmitted via blood not by air even if in air or in your shoes it live only for 2-3 seconds that it then it will die.
3. So chances of getting hiv after 2 days is not at all possible so be happy you dont have hiv
4. Even if you have doubt in mind the take prophylactic medications containing zidovudine and lamivudine tablets for 15-20 days and check the blood by RNA polymerase test on the 21st day of risk exposure
