Can I get HIV from dry sperm with fresh sperm combined on a wound?

I was trying to wash my cloth by hand with some amount (large) of fresh sperm on, then I notice that there is a yellow clot (very likely to be someone else's dry sperm)... and I got a wound on finger 10 hours ago (so the wound is probably under the process of vasoconstriction)...

So if:
(1) The clot (dry sperm) contains HIV and
(2) The HIV got activated by the new fresh sperm and
(3) got to the surface of my finger where there is a wound (in recovering, there might be Lymph on the wound)

Will I get HIV?

(1) I was 'flushing' the cloth with warm water (approx. 45-50 degree) (I am using my hand washing it)...
(2) After washing I can feel my hand is sticky, so some of the sperm got on my hand and very likely

If this is regarded as an exposure ... Shall I take PEP as soon as possible? (please help me)

Thank you.

ONCE MORE:
There is no risk of hiv transmission for this incident.
HIV can be transmitted via UNPROTECTED vaginal or/and anal PENETRATION, sharing IV works in drugs and from mother to child

Can HIV infected by blood? ... In my case... I think there is a risk...
I mean... carried can transferred by blood
Hiv transmission requires penetration!
The incident you describe is a non risk incident.
But... I have a wound... and maybe its possible for HIV travel to bloodstream though this wound...

T_T I am so worried...
You don't have to worry. The virus becomes inactive when it exposes to the environment.
But... It will get reactivate when it contact with new fresh blood, sperm and other human body fluid... T_T
Reactive sperm? There is no sperm in this planet. Please, Stop worrying over a non risk incident!
I mean... after HIV inactive after exposure to air...

It can REACTIVATE by contacting new fresh blood or sperm or body fluid since there are CD4 in them....
I understand what you are saying and I am telling you that this is something that has never happened before.
As I have already posted HIV can only be transmitted via unprotected vaginal or/and anal penetration, sharing IV works in drugs and from mother to child
I appreciated your answer. Thank you.

But penetration infers fluid contact without exposure to air...

However in this case: (which is washing) there are fresh fluids contacting openings WITHIN water but not air...

Although openings are small but there are lymph on it...
Still no risk
