Well, that's a really low concentration of HCl, right? Lower than the concentration of hydronium ions in distilled water, right?

The {H+}of neutral water (pH=7) is 1E-7. This HCl is a really weak solution (1E-8) of a strong acid, so you add the [H+] together (it's called the 5% rule and is used for weak acid solutions when the contribution of [H+] from the water is more than 5% of the [H+] from the acid), so in this case [H+]=1E-7+1E-8=1.1E-7.
