Stepped in Semen

Hey guys,

Slightly freaked out here.  I have some pretty dried out feet with red cracks.  I was at an adult bookstore in a booth (ALONE MIND YOU) and stepped out of my sandal for a split second and stepped on something wet.  I cannot be sure if it was semen, but if it was semen from a previous patron, what are the odds I contracted HIV if it was infected?

even if...

hiv is rendered inactive when exposed to air and unable to infect.  that...coupled with the fact that you did NOT have a big, open, BLEEDING cut...means NO RISK.

Even if one of the crack looks like it possibly bled?  These cracks are pretty bad :(
