Worry about Needle scratch! Please help! Doctor!

Dear Doctor:

I am very about get the HIV, please check my condition:

When i on the Bus at night(China), there are many people on the bus, i stand on the bus and play my mobile phone and when the bus is on the way, i felt severe pain in the leg like a knife or needle scratch me from my Calf to my ankle, it is so pain that i look back right now, then i found a man (about 30 years) stand very close to me and he take a fabric bags on his hand near my Calf, then the man stepped back when i watch him, and about 5 minutes later, the man get off the bus, and when i got off the bus, i forgot this!!! And about a week later, i found my Calf has a about 7 cm long scabs and the scabs are growing, then i am begin to worry about HIV, I am very scare about this 7cm scabs because it must be scratched by the needle or knife!!! and i check the trouser and there is no damaged or tear, so i guess it may be the man use a needle and want to transmit virus!!!

Dear, if the needle has HIV virus and the man use the needle scratch my calf and my calf was scratched a 7 cm scabs, is it danger or not?

I am going to crazy about this, i am very scare, could you please guide me about this?

Thank you very very much!!!

Not from a needle. I am not playing this game with you. Seek a therapist as no one took a needle and scratched you. You don't magically find a scar weeks later.
