Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
Not possible to transmit hiv infection this way.
Ask your friend to take proper wound care.
If he is still anxious, he can take a test after three months.
Consult a general physician in person for further evaluation and management.
He will be able to help you further.
Best regards.
