Questions like these are very hard to answer. Disease transmission is a game of chances anyway, but its especially hard to know because details are important.
Most importantly, any person getting stuck by a needle should report the incident as soon as possible. If a person is concerned they may have been exposed to an infectious fluid, there may be medical treatment available to help prevention infection.
