Any HIV specialist please answer this. I am from Chennai and I don't know the incidence of HIV here. But I had gone to get blood test done and the technician there took my blood with gloves on. But his glove touched a tube that contained some other patients blood. And blood was there on the top of the tube. And then while wearing same gloves he took my sample. Am I at risk for HIV or hepatitis.

HIV cannot spread from external source. You have to do sex with an infected partner to get it

No you do not get HIV like that. Hepatitis B is vaccine preventable. Take three doses, good for entire life. Don't develop phobia like this.
