HIV through paper cut

Hi all,
         Some one pls clarify the doubt & fear i have.Today in an exhibition while walking in the exhibition hall i got a small cut from brouchers which a guy was carrying in his hand & its made of thin cardboard & it was made that guy who was walking towards me in the busy hall & he was hardly 2-3 feets away & before i move away to give way for him he dashed against me & at that time i got a small cut in hand.Since his walking style was like , he keep on dashing everyone with that broucher i was really afraid as there are lot of possibilities of him making similar kind of cuts on others also & if it happen to be like he made a cut to an hiv person & within fraction of second making a cut with that broucher in my hand.Since it was very crowded the time frame of the same brouchers which made the cut is very minimum & possibly one sec between 2 cuts.Even though its an accident & am not sure whether unknowingly he made any cuts prior dashing against me,am totally worried.After that incident i checked the spot & there was a small cut but there was no bleeding from it.I checked it many times but only the cut was there but no blood came.So pls clarify me about this incident whether any chance of getting infected by this.

Thanks for your support

Seek therapy for your phobias because Hiv is not transmitted in such a manner as you have described,this is irrational thinking.

Since because there was no bleeding the risk level is nil or for any other reasons?I mainly worried as time interval was very short as the person was hardly few feets away while i got a cut.
