Dear lybrate-user yes HIV can spread through needle pricks. Even other diseases like hepatitis b and hepatitis c can also spread. However if the needles are new and sterile then there should be no concern.

Yes contaminated needle pricks are a risk factor for HIV. The risk of transmission is around 0.3% per prick. Its always advisable to dispose the needle properly after use, breaking and burning recommended to prevent their re use. Most of the health camps use single use disposable needle. Still if you have any doubt, you should contact the camp organizer.
