Hello,
Your Doctor will have used a new and sterile lancet to prick your finger. This is standard practice.
Your finger touched the machine, but strip / test point is also new and only used by you. They also clean the machine regularly.
Do not worry. THere is no risk of HIV from this test / procedure.
