Co-Worker Bled on Me

I apologize for coming back to the forum so soon. I do not want to make a habit of it, however, today at work, a co-worker, who likes to play around, grabbed my arm, then the back of my neck rather rough shaking me, and may have slapped me in the chest. (this was all in jest). I was on my way to the bathroom at the time. When I got to the bathroom, I looked at saw a blood spot on my chest, which I wiped off with a paper towel and water.  I approached him and asked if he had a cut on his hand, which he indicated he did, from over the weekend, bailing hay as he put it. He showed me the large cut, around two inches long on the palm of his had. He indicated he didn't think he was bleeding, and apologized.  When I got home and took my shirt off, around my neck were several other blood spots. Some had gone through my shirt. I do have pimples on my back, one of which I rubbed the scab off in the shower this morning.

Do I have any risk here for HIV? Again from my previous post I have a baby and a spouse I want to protect.

I am sorry for the post, and any irritation I may have caused. However, the fact that there was someone else's blood on me is a huge concern. Should I have any? Was there any risk here?
