Am I At A Risk Of HIV After A Nail Bed Infection?

Two days before, i got a paper pins ( we use for pucnhing the papers) stuck in my fingure. I checked my fingure and the pin also but could not find any blood. I squeezed my fingure but there was not any blood. The Fingure which was hit has a nail bed infection. Yesterday, i did an HIV test and it was a negeative. Whether am i at a risk of HIV.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern looking to the history given here this is ridiculous, how come this is possible that because of the injury from the pin or the stationary gear one could get the HIV infection, forget about this, because this is not true, hope this information helps you, take care and have a nice day.
