Very likely. Obviously the other person needs to have HIV but the chances are always there. You should take a post exposure prophylaxis within 72 hours. Sue the nurse. Generally p24 antigen assay is done initially because the antibodies to the infection are not developed this early. P24 antigen assay is usually done after 10 to 14 days. Just see some good doctor immediately so he could guide you.
