Hello and thanks for your question.
It's my first priority to help you.
Well chances of HIV transmission with such incident are less likely if you didn't have open deep wound on your penis.
The HIV virus basically needs quick access to your blood stream in order for you to get HIV.
So you needn't to worry at all.
Hope this helps.
