Unigold Test Safety?
Ok, I had a test at the Planned Parenthood recently; they use some kind of small gun to take blood from the fingure. Now I am concerned about it. I asked the nurse if they change the needles, she said of couse yes.
But an the gun have blood on it even if they use new needless? I am a bit concerned. Any thoughts

If planned parenthood gave you a desease you'd be a millionaire. ;p Don't worry about things that can't harm you : )
It means that there are a lot of people on the internet with OCD driven fears that think they were tested with dirty needles. Places that test for HIV damn sure wouldnt be using dirty needles, that would be like an oxymoron, a HIV test center using dirty needles. It doesnt happen.
Damn if dirty needles were really this common like they seem to be on the internet we would all be screwed.
Well, it was kind of a "gun" that they shoot with a needle attached; I do not know what it is called exactly, but it really shoots the needle into you.
mercy me!!!!! not another dirty needle stick. no one with ocd should EVER be allowed to get their blood drawn for a hiv test. PERIOD!!!
your thoughts and fears are irrational. have you sought help from a therapist? if not...please do so.
