With no open cuts/wounds and with immediate removal/cleaning, your chances are 1 out of a million.
Did you report the incident to your supervisor?
It is necessary to report all occupational hazards in the work place. After reporting, your employer would take appropriate steps, such as shots to you, screening the patient to see if they had any diseases, and if so, monitor you for x amount of months and/or years.
If you did not report it, I'm sure you violated their rules, and in the 1 in a million chance you contract anything, you lost your chance of proving it ever happened.
GOOD LUCK!

you could get wet! ha. The likely hood that you caught something is very very very small if there was no open wound on you

No, not really, you had no open wounds.
