bleeding friend

well here is my question i have my friend who is hiv positive and he is my room mate i always take good care of him what happened few hours ago made me feel concerned he got mad when he got his viral load tests and cd4 count because it was 208 close to having aids he got a razor and started ripping his hands off so blood started coming out so i helped him and started covering his wounds and other things .....
my question is :
i have a fresh cut on my hand it happened before like 10 minutes he did this and i have a band aid on it and his blood got into the band aid
does hiv travel through the band aid ?

That is something he needs to discuss with his ID doctor and a mental health professional.

by the way additional information the band aid is not water proof just normal plaster
will that add to the risk because the plaster was full of blood so if blood gets into the wound will this matter and for my friend im taking him for a mental professional soon
