Vacutainer Needle - Nurisgirl help

After having high risk a few times, I waited until 4 months after the last exposure to be tested for HIV. I got the test done twice just to be absolutely sure, and they both came back negative. but when I went for the last test which was yesterday, I started to get this horrible fear that the healthcare workers who drew my blood were using dirty needles. I thought this because I never saw unwrap a clean needle

as you already now here in india there are many reports about reusing needle
and I am really having a hard time to believe that I am not at risk

don't tell me that I don't have any risk because the healthcare will not reuse needle that True in US
but here in India it different you can expect anything .

waiting for your help guys
