I just had a query...is it really possible for labs to use the same syringe for taking blood tests of different persons? I just got my blood test today ...a syringe was kept open and I didn't really see what he did after that... Do they really use the same ones?

No If lab is reputable and  follows standard safety practices, it will use syringe only once for one person only

Good ,proper  lab will never reuse a syringe, as it does carry high risk of transmitting infection.
