It would really depend on how much blood got into the open skin. This would depend on how big the cuts are, how deep they are and how much blood there was. Of course, if there is no HIV virus in the fresh blood, then there would be no risk of HIV transmission. If you are concerned, then get an HIV test to be certain you are negative. Good luck!
