Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
No need to worry about that dear. It is not spread by needle pricking. So no need to worry. However if she has HIV, HbSAg or HCV then thete is a risk of infection. However chances are very low. So just be relaxed.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
