Sewing needle HIV?

I had a few sewing needles in a box on the bus and a 2 teenagers wanted to see them so i let them. The kids started poking themselves with the needles and drew blood. I asked them if it hurt and in reply with one of the needles he lightly poked me with it (don't know for sure whether or not he poked me with a needle that he had been poking himself with, but there is a possibility that he did). I didn't bleed but the very tip of the needle might of punctured my skin. My question is if I am at risk of getting HIV. Again,  it was a solid needle, and i think only the tip punctured my skin(i did not bleed), but the blood on the solid needle could have been fresh blood. Do you think I need to test?I'm pretty worried so can someone please answer.
Thanks

Yes, if there is blood on the sewing needle, it can transmit HIV.  If the needle just pricked your skin, you cannot get HIV.  It actually has to break the surface and get to a point where there is direct blood-to-blood contact beneath your skin.  If it did not penetrate that far, I would not worry about HIV exposure.

So HIV can be transmitted via sewing needle? And would have to go deep in the skin to transmit the virus. I know the needle didn't go deep in my skin but I am not sure weather or not it actually pierced my skin.
The kids did inject drugs.

I would probably ask the doctor about this one.  First of all, if the needle didn't break the skin your risk is zero.  Second, were they teenagers that looked in a 'danger' category?  Did they have vein tracks on their arms from shooting up?  Did they openly talk about screwing each other and other guys up the but?  If not, and you end up getting HIV from that, I might have a really good chance of winning the lottery.
