whats the possibility

What's the possibility of getting hiv from a metal wire, like a paperclip, poking and breaking into my skin right after someone else got poked? Kinda worried so is there a small risk or no risk at all?

No risk.
And you know someone got poked right before you?

Not sure but let's say it had blood, and they were hiv+, would there be any chance? I just don't see a difference from a needle or syringe

We don't deal with "what if".

Needle goes deep into the body...muscle, tissue or vein. Yours did not.
