Yes, it is definite chance of HIV infection. If the previous patient has HIV than you have a chance to develop HIV. But when the previous patient is pricked is also important. if he had pricked on previous day that it is not a problem of concern. but before you can come to conclusion you should star ART (Anti Retroviral Therapy).thnx
