Always as a patient you can take clarity of sterilization status of instruments from the medical practitioner.

1.Trust the Protocol: Medical professionals follow strict sterilization guidelines to protect both the patient and themselves. Reusable instruments are a standard part of proctology, provided they undergo proper high-level disinfection between uses. 2.​Testing for Anxiety: If your worry is affecting your daily life, you can get an HIV 1 & 2 p24 Antigen/Antibody (4th Generation) Combo Test. If done 4–6 weeks after the procedure, a negative result is almost 100% conclusive. 3.​Managing Fissures: Focus on treating the fissures themselves. Increase your fiber intake, stay hydrated, and use the prescribed ointments to help the skin heal and prevent local bacterial infections. 4.​Communication: In the future, never hesitate to ask your doctor or the nursing staff about their sterilization process before a procedure. A good medical team will always be happy to reassure you.
