Fresh blood on a new cut on the lips.

I got a cut on my lips a few hours ago, I don't know if it is deep or not, it seems red but it isn't bleeding. Later, a guy accidentally hit my mouth with his hand and got cut by my teeth, his blood dropped on the cut on my lips, I don't know about his HIV status, considering his was positive, am I at risk?

NFL players do this all the time and never get HIV. You have to have deep gaping wounds to run a risk of HIV transmission.
