Risk after shaking someones hand with visible blood?

I was at a high school reunion party last night where many people were shaking each others hands and such. I shook hands with one of my old friends and saw that he had a bandaid on one of his fingers and there was new blood seeping out from it. I immediately told him and he said it was from all the handshaking he was doing. I checked my hand and didn't see any visible blood from shaking his hand on mine and I went to the bathroom and washed my hands with soap and water. I am only concerned b/c I have a hangnail on my ring finger that it a little red and hurts when I put purell on it and stuff but it wasn't actively bleeding. Am I at risk and was this hangnail I had classified as an open wound? Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving!

There is no way you could ever conceivably get HIV from shaking hands with another person. It really doesn't matter that this person was actively bleeding, and a hangnail would not be a point of entry for the virus, even if it were bleeding.

HIV is just not transmitted in this way.
