Question about HIV/Diseases and a wierd story

Have a question. Now I know its probably nothing but its been bugging me all day and I just want to make sure its nothing.
Anyway, here's the story. I was walking home today from work in the soaking rain. Along the way I ran into this guy who was crying in the rain. So for some reason I decided to ask him whats wrong. He tells me his story, about how he is recently homeless and tried to kill himself after his mother passed away. At this point, I notice that his right arm is covered in one of those large cotton squares and tape that you get in the hospital and see some semi-fresh (still red but I think closed) wounds underneath it.
So I ended up talking to him, and find out he hasn't eaten in awhile. So walk him across the street to a nearby chinese restaurant and order him some food and give him $10 bucks to help him on his way. At this point he asks me if this was because I wanted to have sex with him since thats how he is getting by. I say no, just doing a good deed. At this point, he starts crying and hugging me and thanking me over and over. At which point I wish him good day and leave to go home.
When I get home I recalled his wounds and how long he hugged me. Considering he definitely prostitutes himself, and his bleeding arm. Am I in danger of any kind of infection? I know it seems silly but I've been thinking about it after I got home and am wondering if I'm worrying over nothing.

Well, that's not good. Getting someones blood on you isn't a good idea, but you can't catch anything unless the blood gets into your blood stream. So you're probably in the "can I get pregnant from his pre-cum rubbing on my panties" realm of possibility.
The window period on modern NAT testing is only about two weeks.
Seriously, did 28 days really fuck with us that bad?
If you did not do this, or like.. lick him, you are probably fine, unless you are not fine for some other, unrelated reason.
It never hurts to get tested, but this is not something you should lose sleep over. You gave the guy a nice meal; try to let that be take-home here, rather than paranoia over the nonexistent possibility that you got HIV from a hug.
