I'm sure this has been shared with you at least one if not more times before, but again, the only risks for transmitting HIV are unprotected vaginal or anal penetrating intercourse or sharing IV drug needles.

You don't need PEP, there was no risk associated with this event. Unless, you were exposed to a very high amount of blood and somehow it filled your eyes with it, there is no risk associated.
Testing is not necessary.
