I was getting a reading for my mom's diabetes level using acucheck machine. After the process while opening the small needle I got that inserted in my finger accidentally. Small amount of blood was there. Can it somehow problematic? My concern perspective is for HIV. Please let me know. I sucked out the blood immediately.

No, HIV is not transmitted from such instances. Accucheck needle us a nonbore needle. Pl don't do any test on your mother for this reason and emberrass your parents and family members. Pltake a private consult with audio video chat and then I can guide you properly.
