Pricked myself with push pin on college notice board. one drop of blood was produced and i disinfected the area and puncture wound. could i get hiv?

This scenario: would be very, very, very unlikely to cause HIV infection (about 0%). When was your last tetanus shot? Would get it updated if your last one was ten or more years ago. Take care.
