Non sexual exposure

Hello everyone
Today while driving back home , a guy on a bike met with an accident ,and I went to help him ..
He was bleeding badly .i along with other people there helped him getting up ..and while doing so,some amount of blood from wound on his head came on to my jacket which I noticed after reaching home ....didn't see any stains of blood on my hands or arms though ..
Now i am very worried about hiv transmission
My specific questions are
1.what are the chances of hiv transmission
2. It is always said a lot of blood is required for hiv to be transmitted and as I said he was bleeding quite badly from his head at that time ...so does this increase the chances of transmission
I would appreciate if the experts here reply
I am very very worried ..
Thanks
