Hep B or Hep C

2018-05-29 12:00:57
Recently, I took blood test in one of the centre here in Omr, Chennai. They used BD vaccutainer needles to drew my blood. I'm not sure whether they used new vaccutainer needle while drew my blood. Now I am so scared whether I may get HEP B and HEP C, if they have used contaminated needle. Is it possible to get HEPATITIS through this way? And now what I want to do . Pls advise me.
