Hello there. I can understand your concern. Struck with what needle? Was it a syringe needle? Anyways, you can check after 3 months. But it's highly unlikely that you would have got HIV. Consult a general physician in person for further evaluation and management. Best regards. Dr. Anil Kumar Jain. Bangalore.
