hiv from eye

hello doctor,

i am a guy from hongkong and i had a very different type of exposure of blood into my eye.

actually i was in the lobby of a hotel and on the third floor of the hotel about 15 feet above me there was a fight and one of the guys started bleeding as i was in the stairs and saw up a drop of blood got on my face as well as eye also i was wearing contact lens when this happened so i went to the bathroom as rinsed my eye now not more than a blood would have gone in my eye.

if the person who bled was hiv positive what is my chance of getting hiv from this exposure.
