Accidentally stepped on needle
Today while coming home from college I was walking I accidentally walked on broken syringe and needle 💉 which was lying on road annd I was wearing shoes at that time and I went home and washed my feet with soap and water. But I m sure that I did not stepped on needle but on broken parts of syringe.
There was no bleeding from my feet and I checked for any wound mark but there was not any as I was also wearing shoes.
So is there any hiv risk ?
What should I do

As there was no bleed, and needle did not prick you, you need not worry.
Just wash the area with soap and water and inspect again for any needly prick mark (to be sure).
Next Steps
In case you have needly prick injury, consult to get Prophylaxis
