Can you get HIV

I was at a New Years party with 40 people - I was shaking hands with alot of them and had dry cracked hands and there was one cut that was bleeding a little.  After about 10 minutes of so I went to the washroom washed my hands and good and put a band aid on it.  I was still shaking hands and using the same bathroom as everyone else.  Should I be concerned that I contracted HIV - should I go get tested in a few weeks - Please advise??
