Normally HIV transmission by such incidents are not reported, there is no chance of HIV transmission unless there was a blood to blood contact. For getting a clear picture you can get your baby's blood tested for HIV as it's already a 9 months old case. Thanks.

Fortunately HIV isn't transmitted like this. Don't worry. Your son may have already recd hbv vaccines. So don't worry about HIV or HEP B.
