My finger got stabbed by a drug users needle

I guess they call it a hypodermic needle? I was by the beach playing Pokemon with my dog, he picked something up and my immediate reaction was to yank it out of his mouth - and it went up my finger nail and caused quite a bit of bleeding.



I was just going to go home and call it a day but was told by my insurance company to go to the ER. Ok, so, I’m pretty sure the drug user was still there. Infact, when I went by to pick up the needle before going to the ER some homeless dude helped me find it and said ‘Yeah, I think I know who this is and he’s a scum bag’.



Now they have me on all sorts of HIV medication and the dreams and fevers are ugly.



Are the chances really that big that they have to pump my liver full of stuff?
