Pink case for needle

Good Morning everyone,

I was on lab today for my bloodworks,

I informed the phelbonist  that i have a phobia in needle, so she inform me that my request will be granted, open needle in front of me, i noticed only the eclipse vaccuum needle doesnt have a seal sticker on it, all the procedures had been followed, i had a doubt that nurse reused the needle on me,

Do you think im risk for hiv in this matter if nurse reused a needle?

I did not see the sticker seal on the needle, I would like to ask if theres a chance the sticker seal  is not noticeable ( small) in some needles

You have no medical training, so it is unrealistic for you to think that you know how to do a nurse's job and to think that you have discovered someone infecting people that no one else who works in the clinic ever noticed. That is like you getting on a plane then calling the air controller and saying you aren't sure the pilot knows how to fly so you want him checked out.
This is an HIV prevention forum, and you can't have HIV so if you can't accept that then it is a bit of a mental health problem which requires you to see a therapist.
dude, relax. they didn't reuse anything, they are professionals, and are not going to risk your health, their careers, possible jail time, and lawsuits. your phobia sounds like you're not scared of needles, but catching something from them, but you will not because this doesn't happen.  relax  you don't have HIV.

You are never at risk from HIV from a nurse, so you need to move on from that idea. If you think anyone, anywhere gets HIV from a hospital then you need to see a therapist to discuss this.
