    You are perfectly fine, HIV dries out from the air and im sure you would have noticed blood on the pen, even if there was some you don't have it. A nurse most likely didnt take the blood but a phlebotomist, but either way they would not be protected from needle sticks from thin latex glove, they are depending on skill which they have, if they arnt worried about it I doubt you should be.HIV is actually very difficult to spread without sexual contact or needles sticks.
