The only risks for HIV in adults are:
1) Having unprotected anal or vaginal sex, or
2) sharing intravenous needles with IV drug users.
Feeling a prick in your foot is not a cause for concern. A needle prick would not transmit HIV. You would need to have a needle injected into your vein, which would require you sitting still. You can't have a needle go into your foot vein without you having a needle hanging out of your foot and being in great pain.
Hope you are healing from dengue, but there is ZERO HIV concern here.

Ya but after getting home I just noticed some dot and blood from it ...still it doesn't change your answer?
NO. Unless the needle went straight through your foot and you had to sit down to pull it out, there is ZERO risk from a needle prick. Move on from this event.
Tq sir...I will move on from this event.
Hai team I will never ask a question regarding this again ..just one doubt I have a marriage this month I'm unable to get out from this event...my last doubt is...in my question above does theory of air inactiving the virus exists..does injecting means only the needle stick is enough or..we have to release the plunger..this is the last doubt...please help me...please don't delete the question.. I will never ask this again..If asked then you may remove me from the forum..I'm very nervous please
