Brief Answer:
Nothing to be worried about

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for trusting us with your health concern

I have gone through your query and the attached images.

From the image, it looks like a skin scratch or abrasion, and not a needle injury.
You do not need to worry. The abrasion looks clean and shows no signs of infection.
Keep the area clean. Use alcohol wipes to clean the area. Skin will heal in a few days.

Hope I was able to help you
Please address any additional questions here
Best Regards
Dr.Lekshmi Rita Venugopal

Brief Answer:
No HIV testing required

Detailed Answer:
Hi again,

You do not need to worry about HIV infection. HIV will not be transmitted by such injuries.
The bluish discoloration might be bruising which will reabsorb in about 10 to 12 days.

Best regards

Brief Answer:
Keep an eye for any concerning symptoms

Detailed Answer:
Hi again,

COVID-19 transmission can occur by touching surfaces and then touching your face. However, it does not mean you are exposed. Just keep a watch on if you are developing any concerning symptoms like cough, fever, sore throat. There is nothing to be worried about at this point.
