Getting HIV from a needle injury is extremely rare. A diagnosis takes weeks.

If you have potentially been exposed to HIV in the past 72 hours (usually through unprotected vaginal/anal sex), go to A&E or a sexual health clinic.
You can take a medication called PEP, which greatly reduces your risk of acquiring HIV.
