I was hitting a punching bag with no gloves and got two cuts on my knuckles. Several days later someone random person came up to me for a high five and I gave him an open fist, same hand with cut knuckles. After the contact my cut started bleeding. I m frighten of the chances that I may have been infected with HIV. What are the chances? I m really worried.

See first of all you have be sure enough about HIV status of the person with whom you had that incident. As your history suggests I can say the chances of infected with HIV are very less. So you need not to worry much. Symptoms of HIV are fever > 1 month, diarrhea > 1 month, unexpected weight loss > 10% of body weight in one month and many more.
