Is there any risk being infected by HIV?

I work as a paramedic and once my gloves were torn out and a certain amount of blood mixed with the sweat inside the gloves,and on one of my fingers i had a cut that was 2 days old (healing)..whats the risk of transmission of HIV?

Zero. Plus if you really are a paramedic, I am alarmed to know that you even ned to ask if there's any danger with blood mixing with sweat!
