Student Here: I Was Removing A IV From A Patient

Student here: I was removing a IV from a patient with HIV. When I removed, I felt a drop of blood land on my cheek. I had some scabbed acne around that area. I immediately cleaned my face with soap and water. Can I get HIV? I also blinked, I'm not sure if anything got in my eye. I'm freaking out and don't know what to do. Should I get tested?
