Vacutainer needle reuse suspect

2020-08-09 13:34:13
During a blood draw at a private lab I noticed that the vacutainer needle  seal sticker was torn already. After 1 month I started having symptoms like headache, dizziness, severe fatigue. Red purpura spots on legs, sore throat. I still have severe fatigue, headache, dizziness swollen lymph node near elbow, 3 month after . I did a 4th gen hiv test at 8 7days negative. Can hiv be suspected. Can vacutainer needle be reused. There was a time gap of 7 minute between me and previous patient.
