How far does a needle have to go in your skin to pass HIV?

How far does a needle have to go in your skin to pass HIV? I was pricked today by a stranger on my palm. I felt a pinch but no mark, hole, redness, or blood. I think it was a small needle. Maybe similar to needles on tacks? What's r the chances of me getting infected? Please help This was yesterday.

that is the most ridiculous thing i've ever heard.  if teak and i were the same person...we would be BANNED from this forum, as using multiple screen names is against posting guidelines.

you come here with a post that is "what if" based...and then throw out an attitude?
