Possible blood, beer and sharp object in a drink

Hello all , I will keep things short. I was out not too long ago and having a beer. There was a group on the next table and I got up to cheer with them. I was a little drunk so  I am having trouble to remember every detail ; yet I believe that when my glass and the stranger's glass came into contact, his glass got damaged. Here is my question, assuming a good quantity of  his blood spilled in my drink along with a shard of broken glass, would it be a risk if i drank the breverage ? My mind is racing when I think the same shard of glass could have cut the inside of my mouth.  Is it still a potential risk even if the shard was in a glass beer prior to possible contact ?
I remember cheering with this individual and with his friends and then took a sip a few second afterwards. I do not remember feeling any pain in my mouth the next day or anything of the sort , but I did notice a blood blister 2 days later on the right corner of the end of my bottom jaw. (i applied pressure , but felt not pain whatsoever) The blister popped on the same day. I do not recall having it the day before (it popped so easily it would surprise me it was there the day before) I am a very stressed individual and wonder if that could have anything to do with the blister. Do I need to worry about anything ?  Thanks for reading and let me know if you have any advice for me. Thanks again for your time.

I am hoping my thoughts are irrational , but we were both drunk and it is possible we cheered with too much force, I am worried the top part of the glass shattered and injured the other individual.

Still no HIV risk. HIV can't reproduce right away after exposure to the air, that's why.

Thank you for being strong at work and  for your fast response, my worry was due to the small time frame and possible fresh cut along with the presence of a good quantity of blood and piece of glass that could of started the possible bleeding of the individual in question. My last question : Is there anything I could add that that would change your opinion ?
