What happened?: If HIV is in someone else's blood and it come into contact with your blood or immune cells, there is a risk of HIV infection. It is unclear to me what happened to you . But if you have any concern just get tested. If you are HIV antibody negative more than 3 months after exposure you probably were not infected.
