Small Wounds

Hey Experts,

I was in a wholesale and retail mall last two days ago...Christmas day is coming so lot of people came to that mall to shop for there clothes and everything. I was walking in the hallway with lots of people and after a while when i seat down to the chair i noticed a dry blood in my arms and wiped out and i see a small wounds in my arms.

My question if this wounds came up from a needle should be plenty of blood or a big wound?

im risk of hiv?

HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions; therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.

HIV is transmitted by;
Unprotected penetrative anal and/or vaginal sex
Sharing works with other IV drug users
Mother to child

HIV becomes inactive and unable to infect you once exposed to air.
