Hi
The chance of getting HIV infection after a contact with blood of infected patients depends upon
1)viral load in HIV patient
2) whether she is on treatment or not
3) intactness of skin of recipient
Even though the the chances are small (less than 1%), the chance is significant
So you should go for standard HIV screening
Consult your doctor
Thank you
