Brief Answer:
There is a small chance of getting HIV

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

There is a small chance of getting HIV by an wound such as in you case. It usually happen in cases of sever trauma with the presence of blood.
Anyway, in my opinion you should get tested for HIV to exclude any possibility of transmission.

Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
