You seem to be suffering from a misunderstanding of HIV symptoms.
- HIV is spread only in certain body fluids from a person infected with HIV. These fluids are blood, semen, pre-seminal fluids, rectal fluids, vaginal fluids, and breast milk.
- HIV is spread mainly by having sex or sharing injection drug equipment, such as needles, with someone who has HIV.
- To reduce your risk of HIV infection, use condoms correctly every time you have vaginal, oral, or anal sex. Don’t inject drugs. If you do, use only sterile injection equipment and water and never share your equipment with others.
- Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is an HIV prevention option for people who don’t have HIV but who are at high risk of becoming infected with HIV. PrEP involves taking a specific HIV medicine every day. PrEP should always be combined with other prevention options, such as condoms.
You can contract HIV only through sexual contact or body fluid contact from an HIV affected the blood. As of now, I don't see any reason to worry or panic about it.
To let it completely out of your mind and to be sure about it you may need to test for HIV after 3 months since that is when it usually can be detected. Meanwhile, you can take these tablets as discussed for the pain in the site of injury you had.
