Blood taking needle, syringe and sharp instrument.

I have 3 questions please help.
1.What kind of fresh and bleeding wound should make a person get infected? If at the same time, the blood of hiv contact with the wound.
2.If someone is pricked, what's different between those 3 kind of wound?
3.If a positive guy prick himself with a needle(the needle is with his blood) and then he prick another one to bleed with the same needle. How dangerous the another one is? And if the positive guy prick another one even drop his blood on another one‘s wound. How dangerous the another one is?
4.If someone with blood on his body, he wash it with water. Can we say the virus is dead and won't infect anyone?
I really want to know more detail, please help me. I can't sleep well, can't eat, can't work.......thanks you all...so much!

This forum is for people seeking help with substance abuse.  You asked this question appropriately the first time in the HIV Prevention forum and were given an answer there.  Time to relax now and accept you weren't at risk.

You need to ask a doctor to get an accurate answer. If you're interested in stopping drugs (I assume you're using heroin?) then we can help.

No I am definitely not. I was visited a man with HIV+, and   when i help him drop the blood, a few of blood staied on my thumb. I washed out and clean my finger with alcohol, and then I pricked my middle finger with a new blood taking needle. I am just scared that I will get hiv......so I want to know more detail....would you help me?please!
The HIV virus can't live very long outside of the body (say, on dried blood) but it depends on the conditions and time.

Needle prick from HIV+ to HIV - person could possibly cause infection, but again it depends on several factors.
