Risk for hiv????

about three days ago I was with my cousins and there friends and one of the friends was cutting something and I do not know whether or not he was hiv+ or not. he cut his finger on the knife and immediately wiped it off with a cloth. not even 30 seconds later I did the same thing on accident. the cut was like a papercut but it did draw blood.  my question is what is my risk of getting hiv/aids from this incident? ?

It just isn't transmitted that way, no matter what kind of spin you're trying to visualize.
