Open cut for hiv

How many actual cases are out there of hiv transmission by blood of an hiv positive person into a wound or cut? Also how deep or large does the wound or cut need to be? Just trying to educate myself further to the understanding of how hiv in transmitted.

There isn't any buts! You don't work in the healthcare field for that to be a concern, you work in a liquor store.
