You have been repeatedly asking this question on the HIV Prevention community and told repeatedly there is no risk.   There is no risk to you from this puncture.  Your concerns are nonsensical.   The symptoms you describe are far more likely to represent anxiety than anything else.  You do not need HIV or any other testing but you do need help in addressing your unwarranted concerns.  I suggest that you seek professional mental health assistance to address this problem.

There is no HIV risk.  There will be no further answers and addition questions will be deleted without comment.  EWH
