Hello, there are so many diseases that can transmit through needles. But at this movement if you are worried about HIV, there is no test going to detect HIV at this early, but you can take post exposure prophylaxis for hiv (if you are worried and if the risk is high), should be taken with in 4 hours (or at least with in 24hrs), please visit a physician or a ICTC clinic at the earliest.
