Do i need testing ?

Hello who ever is going to answer this.

Im a Dentist and i recently had a needle prick incident with a 79 year old patient. Aftet using the needle to give a local to the patient i managed to stick it right in my finger. I quickly washed my finger with alcogel and cleaned it. However i did not follow the regulations of my country and i did not go for any acute medical visit as i had 20 more patients booked that day. The patients medical history showed no disease and also the fact that the patient was 79 kinda gives me a sense of security (might be false).

Now to add to the trouble i was also on holiday in montenegro where i had sexual contact with a woman (not a sex worker just normal girl from a bar) we used a condom but we had unprotected oral sex. Where i gave and recieved. Now im normaly not so nervous about this cause im aware of the low risk in oral sex, however combined with the needle prick im thinking maybe i should be.

So my question is should i go get tested and if so for what?
Hep C and HIV was what came to mind.

Yeah... Hep C seems like some thing i should have tested still. Remember back in Uni they told us Hep C was like 90% risk of transmission even at needle pricks.

Any way thx for your response Lizzie guess ill just do the Hep C test.

hiv is transmitted during injections when blood that has been draw up in to the needle is pushed back in to the vein or another person.  you had NO risk.

oral sex is not a risk for contracting hiv
