I was walking in town today then i made some contact with this man.The next thing i saw was some blood on my forearm  and if that person was to be HIV positive would i get infected because of his blood being left on my skin?

Thank you
But lets say if you had a cut as well and it was still fresh would they be a chance because some people say HIV can be transmitted that way as well?
