blood drawing

Dear Expert,

I am working in Shanghai, China. Today I went to have blood drawing in first class hospital in China.
Because of I am too afraid of seeing blood, I did not see nurse use a brand new blood taking needle. I trust this nurse but lots of people are being checked that time. I am afraid of the nurse forgot and use the needle to be used by the previous person.

question is, if there were some blood in the needle, then penetrated to my vein, is it possible to get HIV?

you dont have to worry as the nurse DEFINITELY  used a new needle to draw your blood..this is the procedure and for a health worker it comes naturally to discard a needle after use and to use a new needle on a new patient..you have nothing to worry
