Infected needle

2023-01-16 05:27:26
I went for a blood test this morning at global pathology center hari Nagar, delhi I asked the guy taking my sample to use a fresh needle, he told me of course nd even gave me the option to pick packed needle myself from the box if i want bt then i gt a phone call nd i wasn't able to see him actually open the needle or the syring packet Its a good old pathology center with good reviews on google ... Is there any chance of them using a infected needle... I am mostly scared of HIV infection as i heard that happens through cross contamination
