Thanks for your query at HCM!
I am Infectious Disease Specialist! I went through your query!

It is least like ly that he might be infected with needle prick.
You must ask your child not to repeat such thing in future. There are many infections which can be transmitted. As they are children less chances of HIV, Hepatitis B or C which are dangerous but no one knows if they are carrier or had received transfusion in past or born to mothers of infected disease.
Only test done after few months can prove without doubt regarding transmission.
But in your case it seems unlikey. don't worry.
Happy to take more queries! You can also write a review for me. If you would like some more information, I will be happy to provide. You can take a follow-up query.
Take care!
