I punctured my foot on a thumbtack. i don't know if someone get hurt by that minutes before (people was barefoot) do you think i need testing for hiv?

No: Don't think you need HIV testing. However, when was your last tetanus shot? If you don't know or it has been more than 10 years then get another one.
