Are piercing guns safe?

Hello I got my ears pierced by a piercing gun (the kind of guns where you pick the earring and the gun shots it into your ear) about a year ago and now I'm finding many messages about HIV and Hepatitis in many pages people say that you could get infected by getting your ears pierced with this kind of devices, the thing is that I'm really worried about that because now I don't know if I have to be tested for HIV.
