blood on mouth

hi
i was walking in a dark street, when someone tried to steal my cell phone, he put his hand on my mouth. i bet his finger and started shouting. then i realised that the inner side of my lip was cut. i don't know whether i cut his finger or not.i washed my mouth after that in about 15 minutes with water. my question is: if he is HIV positive, what is the risk of me getting infected  ?
thank you
