to Mr. Teak or other competent HIV

I have a question for which I can not find a single opinion. And I knew that Mr. Teak work in biofuels that is why I ask him. Are there any recorded case of infection with HIV from a needle prick of a syringe discarded on the street?

Mr. Teak sorry for spelling, vocabulary use and receive errors. I mean I know that you are working in the HIV field, and therefore ask you. Just getting different information about this case and ask why a competent person. No need for HIV testing in the prick of a needle syringe discarded on the street? I know you repeat the question but I'm not sure I understood correctly.

No you don't need testing from being pricked by a needle. Had the needle been loaded and you injected it into your blood stream then you would have had a possible risk.

even if the needle is attached to a syringe during a prick, no risk of infection with HIV?

You have to be injected. You got poked, no risk.
