Thank you for your questions.

None of the situations you described are considered risks for HIV transmission.

HIV can be spread when a body fluid from someone who has HIV enters the blood stream of someone who does not have HIV. In what you have described this would not happen.

Check out our page on HIV to see how it is usually transmitted.
