I have created a fighter, who is using heavy armor and has the Heavy Armor Master feat.
The Heavy Armor Master Feat states that:
While you are wearing Heavy Armor, bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage that you take from non-magical Weapons is reduced by 3.
This character was shot and hit, by a longbow loaded with a poison arrow.
The attack did 2 Piercing and 5 Poison damage.
Because of the HAM feat, the piercing was reduced to 0, and then comes the question....
Because the arrow did not pierce, presumably because the armor absorbed the hit, should the character still be affected by the poison damage ?
The shooter was a Yuan-ti pureblood, presumably neither the Longbow, arrow, or poison was "magical"

Well, technically you don't get poisoned (which is a condition), but you take poison damage. You could argue that it doesn't make sense because the armor "absorbed the hit", but that is not what Heavy Armor Master implies.
Not getting hit is already determined by your armor class, the fact that the attack hit but the damage was then lowered a bit means the poison arrow did, in fact, get past your character's armor, your character is just tough enough to shrug off a bit of the piercing damage. The same can not be said for the poison damage.

Theik definitely has the gist of it. The poison damage here is not negated by the damage reduction of the HAM ability. That's what HAM gives you here, Damage Reduction 3 vs. bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing. You may find this question about Damage Reduction useful, as well as this one about 0-damage attacks.

HAM also doesn't divide the damage by 3 (as your last sentence seems to imply), it subtracts 3 damage. If you take 12 damage with HAM, it's reduced to 9 - not 4.
