The first time I ask about HIV, please help me

  I am a college student from China, last week the school with intramuscular vaccine. Because I am afraid of injections, afterwards, i called a classmate to help me press the pinprick of the needle with  cotton hemostasis. Then the cotton swab down, his  finger press  directly on my wound of the needle . and  his fingers above just have a bleeding wound. His blood pressure in the hole of  the needle above me directly. I was very afraid, because I know the students often outside prostitution.
  my question is If  my classmate is hiv+ ,he press his finger aginst at the place of needle prick immediately ,Is this a way of transmission hiv ?
If not , please tell me why,thank you doctor

thanks your answer,but if the blood directly from my classmate's finger, straight into my poke hole from the needle , do not have contact with air?
Because of his finger is bleeding,the blood press to my pinprick , will directly enter not contact with air.

No risk because HIV becomes inactive once exposed to air and therefore unable to infect you.
