I think some guy just stabbed me in the hand with a needle. I was talking to this strange guy and he reached over and shook my hand, when he did, I felt a prick on my hand and my hand got tingly... he talked to me after a bit and didn't seem to act any differently. I confronted him about it, but he just shrugged it off. This guy was shady as hell and the only reason I was talking to him in the first place is because of my job. What should I do?

I would suggest that you go to your primary care physician and have it checked, because it could have been AIDS or anything that he stuck you with.

HIV positive results don't show up for 3 months, unless you live in an area that performs the RNA testing, which shows in 9-11 days.  There is the possibility of a false positive or a false negative.  You must not stress yourself out on this - there is nothing you can do until test results come back.  You can, however, do the following:

Tell your manager and place a written description of the event in your HR file.  Make them sign & date it.

File a Police Report & provide them a copy of the written event description.

Check out Victims Services in your state - they may pay for the test(s) and possibly counseling.

 I wish you luck, and hope everything turns out OK.
