HI
Well come to HCM
There are certain condition for HIV infection that could spread from person to person, if some one is HIV positive and body sera (Blood product ) comes in direct contact with blood of normal person and that is mostly happens, through, intercourse, blood transfusion, using same syringe, this is blood born disease, and without this is not possible, in your case if this not like this then just nothing to worry, take care.
