hiv tester not wearing gloves

hi i recently had a hiv test, and i noticed that the nurse who put a plaster on my cut after blood had been taken was not wearing any gloves, i did not see any cuts on his hand or fingers but i am worried now that he may have had a cut that would have mixed his blood into my fresh needle wound, is there a real threat of me catching hiv from this.

So somehow this person might have just happen to have a cut and not care about it and started to drip blood into a very little needle hole?

You had no risk.
