Hiv from testing center

Hi,

Please help me,I'm frightened now.

In 2015,I got a govt job and before posting we have to undergo medical test.they alloted nearest government hospital for me.inorder to take hiv test I went to hiv centre in the same campus.after registering they gave me a test tube,but that test tube contained some what liked dried blood on its wall,at that time I don't think about that a lot,so I gave that to lab technician.after collecting blood,I somewhat felt dizzy so I asked LT to sit inside the lab for sometime and she allowed me to sit in the lab.so,my doubt is as follows

1.if LT touched the dried blood spot in the test tube and touched my hand to find vein and penetrated the needle through the same place means can it transfer hiv to me?

2.after I removed the cotton ball from my hand,I wiped the needle puncture wound with about a drop of water(because I used water from my bottle).as I was sitting in the lab,I touched the chair and table inside the lab where they use to test the cd4 cells from hiv blood.so after touching those table and chair,I wiped the needle puncture wound with a drop of water.so,if that surface is contaminated,can it transfer hiv to me?

I'm terrified because recently I took a CBC test and my WBC count is 5,600 and 3 years ago it was 9,200. so,I'm depressed whether it may be due to hiv.

Please answer me.
