Hello, thank you for asking me this question. I see that you have a question regarding blood transmission infection .In your case as mentioned they had changed the needle but they use the same vacutainer holder so there is no chance of transmission of any STD’s such as HIV. STD transmitted through infected needle prick or unprotected sexual contact. So in your case they had changed the needle so no transmission occurred.
Next Steps
Still if you have any other queries kindly make an appointment with me.
