Finger pricking test

2020-04-17 12:06:17
Hello doctor, m 12 weeks pregnant. Yesterday i went for  double marker blood test. That nurse took one small pen drive size instrument and pricked on tip of my index finger. My worry is I have not seen her changing new needle and putting into it. Will I get infected with any hiv or heptitis etc. M much worried.pls help me out.
