HIV transmission is not possible in above described scenario. A fight-or-flight response appears likely given circumstances in the context of possible HIV related anxiety.

HIV is a blood to blood transmission, as well as bodily fluids. Dried blood is inactive and you didn't have any open cuts or wounds on your face.
