Please help please

Last week I had gone for haircut. While waiting for my turn a small kid kept running towards me and hugged me several times.  Out of affection I pulled his cheeks once.  I noticed he had some dark red or brown stain on his cheeks. At that time I thought it might be food stain but now I fear it might be blood.
The problem is after 5-10 mins unknowingly I put those fingers with which I pulled his cheeks which had stain marks in my mouth. Now I worried what if I might get hiv cause I don't know whether the kid was hiv positive or not.  Please help could I have been infected with hiv ? Please help sorry for lengthy message but please help .
