HIV by neddle

On Jan 10 I went for my 83 day HIV test after exposure1(protected sex) and 70 day exposure after exposure 2(fingering with wound).I thought this was my last test.However the lab which I went messed it all.Earlier labs which I used to go used electric cutters to destroy the needle.However the last lab I visited did not used electric cutters.The lab guy after taking my serum simply disposed needle into a disposable container and detached needle by using this hand.I feel the lab is reusing the old needles.I think this is a big exposure.I shouldn't be to that lab. OMG!!!

But they should have used electric cutter to destroy the syringe.You Americans are very innocent people.You trust everyone easily.I worked in a call center and I known that.

They did not sterilized and destroyed needles using electric cutter .Simply detached it from test tube and deposed it-----by using hands
