Hi, thanks for using HCM
In My opinion you having a contact with blood of any person over a wound is a matter of concern. You should not delay. Get your test done and god forbids if anything wrong has happened you should start the medicine immediately. As of now get a test done as soon as you can because you don't know about the HIV status of the other person.
