hiv scab exposure

Can you get hiv by touching a open scab no bkoody. I put ointment on one 5 weeks ago and no been worried cause the person was hiv positive. I had gloves on but i dont remember if i had open cuts on my hands since i have eczema. But since then ive been freaking out. I have body aches. Anxious all the time,searching symptoms and thinking i have it. I took a test 2 weeks ago and it came back negative but gotta check again in 90 days. Am i risk of being positve ??? Please help
