Then you're fine and have nothing to worry about. You had no risk. You can move on and stop worrying about this non risk event.

The same syringe that contained your own blood. It's not a risk. It doesn't matter what you add because it's not a risk. There's nothing more to add. If you can't accept that you had no risk then go find a mental health doctor to help you work through your irrational phobia about HIV.

No risk because the blood can only be taken out that way and there is no way that it can be pushed back in. But anyway it's your own blood and you can't infect yourself so that's another reason why it's no risk. You had no risk and don't need any testing.
