I am going to assume you not only called the police but also went to the hospital for treatment. The hospital team should have discussed possible HIV transmission with you and the pros and cons of starting PEP. That you are asking us causes me to wonder if any of these discussions took place.
Unless the knife used to cut your hand had been used WITHIN SECONDS on an HIV+ person prior to cutting you, any blood on the knife would have been exposed to air and temperature changes and the virus (if any) would be rendered inactive. (Unable to infect)
If it has been LESS than 72 hours since you were cut, return to the hospital and discuss beginning PEP. If it has been longer than that, PEP will NOT be effective.
My assessment is that you did NOT have a risk for HIV.
