For u to get infected...blood must contain infective agent and infected blood should enter your blood stream via deep wound or cuts not scratch marks
If none of these is present no need to worry

I think you are just stresssed out.
Firstly, there is a more than 99% chance that the blood Did NOT belong to an HIV+ person.
Secondly, it is unlikely that you came into contact with a fresh blood drop. Clotted blood doesn't spread infections.
Relax!
