HIV Infection risks

A few weeks ago I washed out a new(wet) semen stain from a sheet by runing water and a little soap, without wearing gloves. I didn't have any open wounds on my hands but I had a small burn ( from touching a hot plate!) on my finger which was red at that time. Is it possible to be infected in that way?!
