Stepped on needle?

Hi all, I climbed into a local lake the other day during the dark and now I'm nervous that I stepped on a needle. The city the lake is in has a drug problem. It looks like I have a small gash on my big toe but I don't feel like I stepped on anything. Is it possible it's just a small scrape on my toe from a rock? I don't wanna have HIV.
