Are you saying that the nurse who took your blood may have used a dirty needle to take your blood?  

Whenever you have blood taken, make sure the technician opens the package containing the sterilized needle in front of you.  Personally, I won't let a technician take my blood unless I observe the tech open the package.  This will accomplish two things:  ensure your safety and prevent any uneeded anxiety.

So. What does that have to do with it? I'm a retired firefighter and I'm still a paramedic. You did not contract HIV from a testing lab.  MOVE ON.
