A lancet and a hypodermic needle aren't the same.

Nurses use lancets that are disposable and unable to be used more than once.  Also, may I ask how you know the person before you was "very high risk"?  You can't know a person's status by looking at them.

You have nothing to worry about.  HIV cannot be transmitted through a lancet, even if it was used on an HIV + person directly before you.  A lancet does not create a significant enough opening in the skin to allow for transmission, and there would never be enough blood on a lancet to cause a risk, not to mention HIV quickly starts becoming inactive when exposed to the elements.  

You don't have an HIV concern.
