exposure in flight

Please help me, i am really worried
I was travelling from Auckland to Hong Kong....it is long flight of 11 hours.
I had removed my shoes inside aircraft and was barefoot most of the times, what makes me worried is what if some one had placed a needle or syringe, and that might have pricked my feet.
Although i did not feel anything... would i come to know of such prick
Can HIV be acquired through this route.
Please help
