If the man had HIV, if the blood got on your skin, and if you had a cut or something that would allow the blood to get through, then it would be possible. You can take a test to make sure, but it does not sound like anything you should be worrying too much about.

The only thing you can do right now is wait at least six weeks and get tested. If you test negative, you can test again at about three months. If you test positive, then your doctor should talk to you about your options.
