Hi
Your question is quite relevant and has got social importance
Since all body fluids contains HIV virus in an HIV infected person, and any act that can cause contact with HIV patient's body fluids through a broken skin or mucous membranes can cause HIV.
So the situation mentioned by you can cause spread of HIV infection
Thank you
