I got poked by a needle deep inside my skin through my jeans. The needle was a syringe needle with blood and a woman was carrying it in a plastic cover and I think there was a lid on top of the needle to close it. I am worried about hiv or hep. Can it cause hiv or hep? What if she inserted too much blood from the syringe into my skin? I am really worried. Please reply soon. Please anyone reply soon.
