Pin risk
Peace, my friend at work I use my bathroom sandals, and after about an hour of time I put on my sandals and I stabbed me with a pin at the base of my leg. The pin was stuck to the sole from the bottom and it only appears when I stepped my foot into the sandal. I am afraid if he has pricked my friend and some blood was stuck in the socket between the head of the pin and the surface of the sole (it might be like the socket of a needle). Pricked.
Note that my friend is sexually active

Muj The advice can't change so all you need to know is above. Seek therapy because your problem is anxiety. This is an hiv prevention but you need one on one discussion with a therapist.
Also don't hijack someone else's thread.

Your situation involves personal contact with an object in air (pin, fluids etc. ). You will be happy to learn that you had no risk, because you can't get hiv from personal contact except unprotected penetrating vaginal or anal, neither of which you did and you didn't share hollow needles to inject with which is the only other way to acquire hiv - there are only 3 ways to get hiv. Analysis of large numbers of infected people over the 40 years of hiv history has proven that people don't get hiv in the way you are worried is a risk.
HIV is a fragile virus in air or saliva and is effectively instantly dead in either air or saliva so the WORST that could happen is dead virus rubbed you, and obviously anything which is dead cannot live again so you are good. Blood and cuts would not be relevant in your situation since the hiv has become effectively dead, so you don't have to worry about them to be sure that you are safe.
There is no reason for a person to test when they are safe. The advice took into consideration that the other person might be positive, so move on and enjoy life instead of thinking about this non-event. hiv prevention is straightforward since there are only 3 ways you can become infected, so next time you wonder if you had a risk, ask yourself this QUESTION. "Did I do any of the 3?" Then after you say "No, I didn't" you will know that it's time to move on back to your happy life.
No one got hiv from what you did during 40 years of hiv history and no one will get it in the next 40 years of your life either. You can do what you did any time and be safe.

GuitarRox can you answer me ??
We're volunteers here, you have to be patient. But, as you could see from other posts, there are very clear ways HIV is transmitted. Unprotected vaginal or anal intercourse (with penetration) and sharing IV drug needles. That's it. Pins do not transmit HIV as the end is exposed to air. This is ZERO risk.
Sorry, I was pressing because I was afraid
I was afraid of the cavity caused by the pin on the sandal when my friend stepped on it the first time, his blood may have gathered in the cavity caused by the pin, which provides an environment for the virus to live ، then I put on the sandal and stepped on the pin
ZERO risk.
