Contraction of virus via piercing

2018-01-10 16:34:55
I recently had my daughter's ears pierced. The gentleman who did the piercing didn't change the needle and I forgot to ask him. For the same. What are the chances that my daughter might've contracted to an HIV or some other similar virus? Should I get her tested for HIV?
