Is there a risk of HIV infection if a lot of saliva gets into the eyes

Hi Guys
I'm from a non-English speaking area and living in Japan, first,sorry for my poor English

a few days ago,I went to a SM club and accepted the services at there from a sex worker
i licked her feet and she give me a handjob,But what worries me is During the service time she spit a lot of saliva in my face,And about 5ml-10ml(maybe) of saliva got into my eyes, I'm not sure if there's blood in the saliva
After my eyes came into contact with her saliva, I closed my eyes unconsciously, which made it harder for the saliva already in the eyes to flow out ,After about 10 seconds, I tried to wipe the saliva out of my eyes with my hands ,Then about 10 minutes when the service was over, I rinsed my eyes in the bathroom for about 30 seconds

I learned that saliva barely transmits HIV,However, if the saliva is mixed with blood, and the amount of saliva mixed blood is large, will it cause infection? do i need a HIV test?

Thanks and best regards

The ONLY ways adults get HIV is to have unprotected vaginal or anal sex or to share IV drug needles. You won't get HIV from saliva in the eyes or anything else you mention. Air and saliva itself inactivate the virus. No risk

thanks for your reply.
So if even blood stained saliva in the eyes also no risk for hiv transfer?
and am i don't need an HIV test?

Thank you for your help
It's okay to ask a follow up. There is no chance of getting hiv through spit even with blood in it through the eye. It doesn't happen. The risks I said above are the only ones. Air is around that spit and in 40 years, no one in a sex act has gotten hiv through spit in the eye. You do not need to test.
Many thanks for your kind and warm help.
