It presents a low risk; blood borne pathogens are spread through your blood. You could become infected only if the injured person has an open sore on their mouth or have blood on their face. When performing CPR the only thing you should worry about is influenza or other airborne pathogens. Using a pocket mouth-to-mouth resuscitation mask or other barrier device can prevent this.
