Semen in Eye.. HIV risk?

I have been dillegently trying to practice safe sex.. however, recently I had an incident where some semen was shot into my right eye, and was wondering if this posed a high risk if the guy was HIV positive.. As far as I know he is negative, but I always use universial precautions..

So what is the risk associated with getting semen in your eye? I have read where health workers were infected with blood getting into their eye, but no information about getting semen in the eye..

Thank you!

As you were advised, you never had a risk by getting semen in your eye.

I called the CDC and they said you could get infected through the eye.. so now I am freaking out as always.
