HIV- worth getting a test?

I recently started working as a dental assistant and steri-nurse, so I work a lot with sharps and body fluids such as blood and saliva. I also used to self harm quite a bit. Before, I wasn't really concerned about getting something like HIV because it would only affect my body, but now because I'm in a relationship, I have to think about the other body involved.
I'm terrified to death that I could have given myself HIV from self harm.
I'm also worried that I might get it from work. Do you think once I go back to my boyfriend (end of February) I should get a blood test to make sure?

It seems like you are concerned about it , so i would say yes, just to give you peace of mind. I think the chances are pretty minimal however

I'm going to school for dental assisting 😊 honestly, it doesn't hurt. Why not give yourself peace of mind?
