HIV in fistfight

A black man, about in his mid 40's and a bit on the poorer side, assaulted me in Paris. I punched him various times and got lacerations on both hands. I do not know his HIV status, and I do not think he bled, as I took him down and got him in a chokehold. If he bled and his blood got into the lacerations, how likely is an HIV infection? It has been six months since and no symptoms.

Horrible answer and you are giving out wrong information! There is a reason someone having hiv can't get there licence to fight in UFC, MMA, boxing! Please stop answering questions and giving out false information...

Ηι,
hiv can only be transmitted through unprotected vaginal or/and anal penetration, from mother to child and from drug works. Apparently from the incident you describe you are risk free.
Take care
