Accidentally stepped on needle

2024-05-30 09:23:59
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
