Wound

I read from other posts,they said if you can get hiv from wound,the wound must be large and deep.
Is it true?
When I played football,And I had  with another person.We both hurt.and my knees hurt.A small amount of blood seeping from my wound,and my cut are very small.and the person who  I had  collided with .he also was bleeding that
time ,if he is a hiv+,His blood come into contact with the wound of my,is it high risk?
My wound really very small,and the blood there is no blood flow to my legs,I can see inside to see some blood seepage .

so am i risk?

Yes,  large and deep as in severe trauma, as from a car accident.

Incidental contact of skin abrasions/wounds with blood during contact sports must happen thousands of times across the country every week. And despite that there are no documented cases of transmission.

From what you describe, you were not at any risk.

So if the wound on my lips ,the wound of lips also have to be large and deep ?
and my lips also a little bleeding when I fell down .and the wound of my lips ,the wound  diameter only 2mm,
If the hiv blood came into contact with the wound of lip, if the hiv has not died yet,
Am also no risk?
