Could I get HIV from a manicure?

I am attending beauty school and i recently gave a man a manicure. I poked him with my implement and made him bleed. After 10 minutes I put the implement in a disinfectant for 5 min when I learned it is suppose to be for 10. I pulled the implement out of the disinfectant and poked myself. Could I contract hiv this wayCould I get HIV from a manicure?
1st he has infected with the virus.


2nd you have to have an open wound or cut that would have touched the spot on his body where he was poked.


Lastly, you should rinse and disinfect right away for at least 10min.





If you have an open wound or sore and were exposed and he is infected, you are at risk and should get a blood test.





If you want to know if you are at risk without having an open wound or sore or any other exposure, the answer is probably not. If you are obsessing, go to the doctor anyway and get a blood test. I am confident you are fine.Could I get HIV from a manicure?
Nah, the only way you can do that is if you have an open sore or something. And that's the only way you can get bad blood contact. Hope this helps :3
not unless he had hiv first. then the blood would have needed to get inside an open wound or some kind of opening in the skin or your body
no
