My worry is to do with the fact that you had an open wound (removed acne).
HIV dies 30 seconds to a minute after it leaves the body. But if it is leaving one body for another, then transmission is possible.
It is probable that the acne had healed over and the blood did not find a way in. In that case there is nothing to worry about.
If you are worried, please wait 3 months and do a blood test. While you are there, you might as well get checked for hepatitis C. Another blood borne disease.
All the best
