Well if any of their blood got into those cuts and they're open at all my guess is you would get HIV
The sound of gun fire so loud and rapid, but it seems to be so quiet around me, and out of nowhere I feel peace cover me. I reach down and reload my ticket home. The taste of cold steel on my lips, and a second later silence fills the January air...

I'd say that the only person who can diagnose you is a doctor. You should go see one for peace of mind, even if you just think you're being paranoid. Doctors don't mind. They get paid for it. 

All the way from the land of the self-conscious zombies.

The chance of getting hiv in that case, is almost 0.

Your chances of getting HIV aren't very high, although you shouldn't have risked it. By not wearing gloves, my bigger concern would be that you got bacteria from your hands into your friends' piercings. Always wear gloves or don't pierce anyone! Also, if you didn't use sterile (autoclaved) jewelry any germs that were on the jewelry are now in their ears.

I have 1/2" lobes and 11 piercings: left helix x2, both conches, both nostrils, septum, navel, and VCH.
My lobes are small but I know a lot about stretching and how to do it safely, so message me if you have any questions!
