Hi, so a couple days ago I found a safety pin deeply lodged into my daughters diaper. The pocky part was inside the diaper, I did not see any blood n I do not think it pocked her coz she never said anything n she can say bum sore however i'm worried because I do not know if the pin was infected with possibly hiv n what if it did poke her n I do not know. This particular diaper was 1 of my last also the pack was open for about 2 weeks and manufactured 4 months ago. I checked her bum do not see any prick marks but it is a tiny pin, I did not see any blood on the pin or diaper, the pocky part was inside the diaper but im still worried, it def did not come from my home because we do not own black safety pins pls advise if its possible for her to get hiv from a pin prick.
