Finger cut exposed to blood wound of someone

I'm a bouncer at bar, there was a fight between two males I tried to separate them. One was bleeding in the head when I moved away putting my hand in his head and neck . I have some blood stains in my hand, I think the guy should have injured his head during fight and bleeding , my hand got a small knife cut (30 hours) before happened, no bleeding but the cut was open. I worried the guys blood come into contact and put myself in risk of hiv or any other stds. I know those guys are druggies...please advice me. A hiv test is needed. What's my risk level. I'm extremely panic. I don't have much blood in hand but some traces of blood. I washed later.

Thanks for the prompt reply. The cut was deep and inner layer was healed ( no bleeding ) it was 2days old cut but the first layer of the skin was still opened it was redness inside. It was a 5mm cut in the finger. I read from other postings that hiv won't transfer in environment. I worried , am I overreacting. Scared to work and at home without peace.

due to the fact that cuts start healing almost immediately from the inside out, your cut, 30 hours prior, never put you at risk.

no risk
no test
