Risky person kicked his head on my teeth :)

Hello dear collegues!

I just want your opinion on this strange incident, I will be short.
2 months ago drunk guy tried to hit me with his head in disco. By "luck" he was to drunk to hit correctly so hit did it lightly and with his frontal part he striked into my teeths. His head went bloody few seconds later and my lower lip lightly started to bleed (very very lightly, so lightly I realised hour later when I got back home). I didn't get in contact with his blood after the incident because backed off.

I calculated (for my country), there is a chance of 3 in 10 000 he was infected. Due to his young age (21 or 22) and type of his behavior & personality as I managed to find out (he came to visit his friend in distant town, he plays he is cool and so) I would say if he had it (and knew about it), he would not be so "lively" (news would probably be fresh to him).

...---I would like to know what are the ods of catching HIV from this incident?--- I didn't come in touch with a lot of blood, contact was for few miliseconds when his skin (and possibly some vein due to his bloody face after encounter) got raptured by my teeth and than that little blood possibly got in touch with my minor wound on lip (from same encounter).

I am 21, good immune system. If only he hit me as he planned (he would knocked me out and no blood from him)... Should I think like that? Thx. for reading! Please comment :)

Teak, small quantity of blood probably entered my mouth the moment my teeth raptured his skin (that piece of second he made a kick). That is a small risk by my opinion, your is it represents no risk? Even thought my lip sustained minor damage from the same kick?

That actualy is the only thing that bothers me a little. :)
Thx. man, appreciate your time. That is really a last question.

HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions; therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.

Thx man. I know you hear 10000 people craying every day, even thought their risk is close to apsolute 0. But it helps mentaly to talk about it. :)

Is there some minimal quantity of infected blood individual need to get in contact to get infected? This would be somewhere less than a mililitre that got in oral contact and almost nothing of it posibly penetrated throught minor wound on lip. And ofc. there is 3 in 10000 chance he even got it...

My last question in this topic I hope! Thx :)
