Possible reused syringe exposure?
Hey guys i dont usually worry about hiv but..
I went to get my blood drawn for a blood test, i didnt see the nurse using a new unwrapped needle, im scared i will get hiv from this.
The nurse also didnt rub alcohole on the spot she took the blood out, she was being careless however i didnt see her touching the that part with her hand, she just put cotton bod over over the spot where the blood was draw, she wasnt even wearing any gloves.
Whats my hiv risk? i live in UK

keep in mind that i didnt see a new syringe being reused...
also she didnt even put alcohole on me before the blood draw, and NO GLOVES,
this shows she could have been a carless nurse......
i should have asked to see a new syringe but i forgot.
