Can I get HIV from an open cut?

I just came in the communal front door of my apartment block behind my neighbour who is a paramedic. He was wearing his uniform and had obviously just come in from work. I came in had a bath and then about 10 mins after coming out the bath I noticed I had a large cut at the bottom of the palm of my hand, it was obviously new because it was bleeding. What are the chances that I either cut myself while I was out (went from my house to my mum's and back again) and caught something or possibly I had the cut when I came in behind my neighbour and he could have had a trace of blood on his paramedics uniform and I touched where he did and got some blood in my cut. After my bath I was puttiing my clean underwear away in the drawer and now I am worried that I have got some blood on my clean clothing. I am now going mad with worry because I don't know where I got this cut and what I have been touching with it

As I said "Even if you had a cut from whenever it is not a risk for HIV."

It could have been from before and I just reopened the cut when I washed and dried my hands, it is like a long paper cut.

Unless you have blood clotting issues then your cut would have been from very very recent, not 10 mins ago but from 1 minute ago.

Even if you had a cut from whenever it is not a risk for HIV.
