Hiv Exposure

My question involves workers compensation law for the state of: Indiana. I work in a laboratory and was transporting specimens to another department, during which time we are not required to wear personal protective equipment. Two specimens had been sent in rubberbanded together so tightly that the top popped off and blood serum splashed in my eye. The blood serum was hiv positive. I washed my eye out, went to the emergency room and workers comp paid for post exposure medication. I will not be taking another HIV test for another 4 weeks so I don't know how the results will turn out. If the results are negative, would I have a case to sue for pain and suffering or any type of compensation?
