Hiv through MMA fighting?

So earlier today I posted a question on what the possibilities of me getting hiv through getting a pin cut on my finger and someone else getting a pin cut on theres and touching my cut. But i recently remembered another situation that happened around 3 years ago. You see I fight MMA and since its amature and not pro they dont test you for hiv prior to the fight. So in this fight I was 16 years old and the other guy was 17. Anyways in one instance we head butted and we both started bleeding. And then on another he elbowed me in my eyebrow and some of his blood pouring from the headbutt once again got in my cut just a little. Anyways is there any possibility of me contracting hiv through these ways. The only symptoms ive had are random rashes (could ne alletgies) i sometimes get a soar throught for the first hour or so im awake (only sometimes) and i sometimes have night sweats (raerly) I have never had lymph nods or anything like that.

No. If you're concerned, take a test and see for yourself.

Well this is the situation. The other fighter was on top of me and he elbowed me right above the eye causing me to instantly open up (the cut was somewhat deep and i needed stitches) anyways while he was on top punching me i managed to punch him where he had the headbutt cut and then he put his head down and his blood litterly dripped to my cut. Is there still no risk there?
