Brief Answer:
Need not worry

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

There is no need to test for VDRL and HbsAg. You can get the HIV P24 antigen assay to rule out infection for both exposures combined.

The second exposure carries a very negligible risk of contracting STI. Need not worry.

Hope, I answered your query.

Wish you good health.
