blood test infection

sorry for my bad English
I was making blood test and the nurse was very strange and I am afraid of her
she  touched the syringe (the part that penetrate the skin)
with her finger and also I saw her making massage with the same finger during the
withdrawal of blood in the place that she but alcohol on it where she was
withdrawing my blood

I am afraid that she intended to infect me by hiv or hep or other diseases

is that risk for hiv or hep or other diseases?
