IS THIS POSSIBLE FOR HIV?

ohk let me get straight to the point...

my room mate of five years has hiv...i mean he is hiv positive..i ve always know this...
recently he had an infection on his fingers...and it was bleeding...the wound is open..
after some time..we were checking my random blood sugar..he ruptured my hand with a pin..alittle bit..but a huge amount of blood oozed out..
Then he accidently touched my cut( right..spot on..)...with his bleeding open wound...
(we dint share needles obviously)
WILL I GET HIV?
what are the chances...in percentage?

In a situation like that it wouldn't hurt to test but the chances you have contracted HIV from this incident are so rare that it's no worth the worry.

The wounds have to be large & have direct contact.You seem to be paranoid all of a sudden.You have been living with this person for over 5 years so why now the sudden panic?
