There are only four ways in which a person can get HIV. Touching and holding hands is not one of the methods.

That's why as a precaution you should always wear gloves to deal with such cases. Touching the blood won't affect much if you didn't have a cut on the region it touched. Also if kit is negative no worries. If you're still unsatisfied you may consult with each and every minute detail
