Hello welcome to the health care magic

Usually scratching not lead to spread of HIV.

Unprotected intercourse, needle injury, blood transfusion etc can spread HIV virus.

If still want to rule out HIV than investigate with...
1. Fourth generation ELISA for hiv or
2.combo CMIA HIV test

(after six week of exposure)

Hope I have solved your query
