Needle prick/poke

I work at convenience store and we have through that garbage every night in bin. So i pick up that bag from top of knot as it was tied from top. As soon i pick up the bag i feel like something prick or poke me right under my middle finger nail. So i thought it might be needle in bag. I saw there was no needle visible on top of bag. Then i squeezed and press my finger to see if some blood might come out of it. But i did not even see even one small dot of blood coming out. so then i did not open bag as i thought it might be something else. Like these day under my nails due to moist my skins peels off automatically under every finger of my nails. then i feel like some skin is about to come off that particular finger. So then i peel of skin and under that one small dot appear. So then i think it might be the area where needle poked me but no blood came out of that..

Am i at risk of HIV, Hepatitis a,b,c ????

Any suggestion will be appreciable.
Thanks

Hi I am sorry, without knowing what stuck you it would be hard to say.
If it had been a needle stick then I would say that you should be tested.  I thik you have to wait a month or more.
Take care
