Does Semen Of A HIV Positive Man Entering A Cut In Finger Cause HIV Infection?

Hi doctor, 2 months ago I performed a fellatio on my 19 year old bisexual friend. I didn't let him ejaculate in my mouth. But after he ejaculated a little of his semen got on a little cut near my finger nail. I don't know whether he is HIV infected or not. Is there a possibility for me to get infected if he is HIV positive? (I live in Sri Lanka where it is estimated only 4000 are infected with HIV)
