One day in one of my classes a guy jabbed me with a plastic mechanical lead pencil. I didnt see if it had anything on it or if it made me bleed. I worry alot, and started thinking that I could've gotten something like hiv if the end of the pencil had blood on it. I might just be worried for no reason I hope
but I wanted to ask so someone might could shed some light on a situation like this.

you did not contract hiv from this incident. even in the unlikely case that the tip of the pencil penetrated your skin, HIV cannot survive outside the host body. it would not have lived on the pencil and been injected into your skin. no worries!

I highly doubt you have anything. Unless he jabbed himself and bled first and then jabbed you and made you bleed then you have nothing to worry about.
