HIV from stepping on saliva and something sharp?

on the first one, I stopped on what looked like saliva while on the train and on a separate occasion, I was barefoot and stepped on something( don't know what it was, but might have been glass, from a small shard of it that I saw a few seconds later), and I started bleeding profusely in my foot.  Am I at risk from either of these incidents? Please help. I'm scared.

DO I need no test?
No risk.
Why are you asking about getting tested after being told you had no risk? Do you always go around getting tested for diseases for which you had no risk? Because that's not normal.
Thanks.
