Getting into a fist fight

I'm just curious...this might sound like a dumb question, but is it possible to get HIV from getting involved in a fist fight if one of the fighters has HIV?  has this ever happened before?

Thanks

You would have to have a major laceration to get infected in that manner.

I had that worry one time. I hit someone in the face a few times and the blood from their nose touched a small tooth wound I had gotten from punching them in the mouth
