6 months ago i got head butt & had a cut by a guy i later heard he tested + for hiv, i didn't show any symptoms. what do u think?

Not likely: Unless the guy who head butted you had an open cut and this touched on the cut you experienced the chance of transmittal of HIV is near zero. On the other hand it never hurts to get tested. Do not think this is a situation calling for prophylactic antivirals.
