Trimmer cut on lip, any hiv risk?

2 weeks back I have called one hair dressser who came to my room and does the hair cut. While trimming my mustache, facial hair, accidentally the trimmer hurt my lower lip and i have seen a small droplet of blood came out.
But there is a gap of atleast 10 mins before he came to the room and accidant happen to my lip. Is there anything I should worry about HIV transmission? If I can go for blood test now so that I can sleeep ithout worrying? or I should wait for 3 months?
Kindly answer my question.

Hi,
There is no risk of hiv transmission for this incident.
HIV can be transmitted via unprotected vaginal or/and anal penetration, sharing IV works in drugs and from mother to child
Take care
