Great...

Hey everyone,
I just called the place and they said that there was another report of a similar situation.
I'm scared.

Come back after you pick up your negative result.

I definitely will.
I read that transmission is POSSIBLE but there is a 0.3% chance - assuming this was a hypodermic needle.
Made me feel better but the fact is - I MIGHT be the 1 in 3,000 and this anxiety is killing me.
I know this was OUTSIDE of a health care setting (ironic huh?) but I'm afraid that some other people COULD'VE poked themselves as well and the blood COULD'VE been very fresh so the distinction of INSIDE vs. OUTSIDE setting is not very clear to me in this case.
Thanks for the support everyone - I may have been given a time out at a different forum but Teak, in particular, has been very helpful like one individual.

GM,
You have major, major problems. But HIV isn't one of them. I guarantee it

Thanks but that's a little rude.
My mind may be playing tricks with me but the fact that I got poked with a sharp object is not a joke. For someone who fears of HIV, it's natural for me to start panicking that it was a needle.
