Hiv from blood drawn

Hi. Today I went for a blood test. Then I saw there is a left cover with some blood stain for needle blood drawn usage. OK.  I dunno what is the usage of the cover so I ignore it. Then after that she open a new needle and stuck it to the cover.  Ohhhhh. I quickly tell her there blood there, but then she say is okay. Ur blood drawn is coming in  not coming out.  But I still can't take it. I ask her to change new one,  she say this cover only got one and she just use to wash it. Then i still not allow her to draw my blood until she open a new syringe...
After that, I start to worry,  I did not notice if she use back the needle or open a new needle. Or I dun really remember if the syringe come with needle.

Questioned: if she takes out the needle from the cover,  will it able to plug back to the syringe.
I got call back and ask the doc, the doctor say their syringe attach with needle.
Can I get infected with this exposer if she use back the first needle? This is from a medical centre. I am very worry now. Do I need to get test again after 3 months. Pls.. Shiit.

It is abnormal to think a clinic that draws blood many times every hour injected a person who has no medical background with HIV.

Consider therapy for your phobia.
