HIV from needlestick
Soccerstar7878
Last night I was out at a bar. I am not sure if I felt a needle prick my arm. If I did get pricked would I be at risk? And would I feel it? I was a little buzzed but not that bad. Any help would be appreciated

If it did, which you know it didn't it would not have been a risk.
