Blood on Blade, and cut on finger

Greeting Everyone

I shared a house with five mates, and one of them is HIV+. Yesterday, we cooked together, and he cut himsefe which there is a lot of blood on the knife. i want to help him, and uncarefully, when i picked up the knife, the blade cut me finger, and i was bleeding.

Should i be worried about it. It should be 2 mins apart

HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions; therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.
