Vacutainer Needle Re-Use and HIV Screen
Hello Doctor
I have done my regular blood checkup on 19th May 2023 at one reputed hospital for lipid and CBC. But when the technician started my procedure I realised the vacutainer needle cap was already removed and she just fit the needle and did the procedure but i still have doubt if it was changed or not.
My question is can anyone re-use vacutainer needle twice as it is single use needle and automatically jams after it was removed from the vein? And what are the chances of Hiv infection. If any then what test i need to do for screening. Today 29-05-2023 is the 10th day.
Please help.
