acupuncture risk?

Hi im new to this forum
a few years ago i did treatment on my left knee acupuncture i went in and the doctor saw me then i was waiting on the bed then his assistant came in put the acupuncture needles in and i went on my merry way. a few weeks later i went again for my other knee this time the doctor saw me he put rubbing alcohol and i saw him open a new packet and put the needles in me this got me nervous why i didnt see the assistant do it last time. can i be at risk from acupuncture? if so should i get tested and is a few yr enough time 2009 it happened?
