Does it involve any risk ?

[pons1988]

Hi all ,
            I just joined the forum today and started discussing my concerns and reading few posts. I got mental support from members of this.

While reading the post i was worried about a thing ,

Is it safe if the persons who takes blood during blood test did not wear gloves ?

The labs which i went did not use any gloves and the lab technician who takes blood to several people and places it in tray of test tube .

If he had some dried blood on hand ,and he touched my injecting place to search the vein ?

Does this practice involves risk ?

But he rubbed little rubbing alcohol overt the injection spot after searching the vein.

Some tech just don't put on gloves others do....I too would perfer if they all did

no risk. but I would still feel more comfortable with a lab following basic precautions like wearing gloves.

No, no risk in this situation. But not wearing gloves is not a good practice. I am sure that technitian washes his hands after each blood draw.
