Brief Answer:
HIV Negative.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thank you for Query. I am Dr Bharatesh D Basti answering your query.
Welcome to health care magic. I have gone through the details.

The nurse or the staff are well trained to prevent transmission of HIV.They will be using fresh or sterile needles for injection. The risk should be nil.

If in doubt of procedure, The duo test is negative after 1 month exposure is almost conclusive.
You can allay fears of HIV.

If still in doubt you can go for HIV Antibodies tests after 3 months exposure for final conclusive results and to relieve your anxiety totally.

You can get back for any clarification.

Hi
Thank you for follow up query.

The 4th generation test is almost Conclusive after 1 month exposure. The chances of tests coming positive later is almost nil.
But it would be better to go for final conclusive results after 3 months exposure.
