I Am A Dentist. Yesterday, After I Performed Surgical Tooth

I am a dentist. Yesterday, after I performed surgical tooth removal (took 1.30 hr), I found out that there is a small cut on my glove that let some blood and saliva in. My left index finger skin is intact. It has no wound except small peeling at finger nail. My finger might be soaked in patient blood for an hour. Should I get tested for HIV?
