Based on the description of your experience, guidelines do not provide definitive recommendations on whether or not you should have testing performed.
However, as noted in my first posting, there is minimal risk of transmission of blood borne pathogens given the description of events that you described.
Blood borne pathogens include but are not limited to hepatitis b and c, HIV.
As always, discuss your specific concerns with your health care provider.

should i go for any blood tests to rule out any risks...when and what blood tests should i go for...is it required?
Hello,
It is very difficult to tell you that you have no risk; however, you are at very, very low risk given the information that you provided.
It is never wrong to ask health care providers if they have washed their hands; and, certainly, inquiring about new/unused gloves is reasonable as well.
