Can you have a chance of HIV when you were stuck by needle on roadside?

Yes, this is possible. Because needles are used to pierce the skin, they will come in contact with someone (possibly an HIV infected person) else's blood. Then if you stick yourself with that needle, it will in turn come into contact with your own blood. This mixing of blood will contaminate the clean blood and you will become infected with the disease. To put your mind at ease and for your own health and safety, it would be wise to go to your doctor and request an HIV test.
