Possible Risk?

Hello, I have a question regarding HIV risks/transmission.

So on the day of my wedding photo-shoot which was about 4 weeks ago, my left ring finger has a hang nail skin so I picked on it and it bled for a little bit, and the same time I noticed one of the stylist for us has a fresh cut that still bleeds on his index finger.

Therefore, my question is that in case his blood from his wound comes into contact with my wound, then will that be a risk?

In addition, I checked my hang nail wound a few times that day and I did not notice any blood mesh/stain on my left ring finger.  I also did not have any symptoms since that day.

Do you think I need testing to have a peace of mind in this case?

Thank you.
