If someone pricked you on the finger with a needle that had the HIV virus, would you cut your arm off to avoid the chance of being infected?

nope...the infection would have already entered into the blood stream and would have gone through my arm and on to somewhere else before you could even have the chance to cut off your arm to save you from getting HIV....not only that but HIV is a retrovirus which means it reproduces very quickly and would have probably moved on to 3 or 4 cells by that time..

No. I would go and get tested to see if I was infected.
