Can you get HIV from public sewer water?

I recently worked as a plumber for CVS pharmacies, and while roto rooting their sewer drains, a glob of God knows what hit me in the eye! (get goggles..I know : c) Anything in particular that i should be tested for?

HIV should be the last thing you should be worrying about if that happens. I don't think I've ever heard of someone contracting HIV from sewer water. Believe it or not, even getting poked by a needle from someone who has HIV only presents a remote chance of contracting.

HIV doesn't survive very long outside of the body anyway.

General infections should be of concern. Pink eye at number 1.
