Risk of injection of filler of hyaluronic acid

[worriedgirl26]

Hello, I went to the doctor to have a filler injected into the eyes dark circles area, the syringe with the gel (hyaluronic acid) was not new, I know because he took it out of a box but the blister was not sealed, I also saw that the gel in the syringe was not completely full, I saw that he took a needle with a cover from the blister, so I think the needle was new, and he placed it on the tip of the syringe with gel, I am worried that the gel (hyaluronic acid) has been contaminated with the blood of the previous patient whom he injected with the same syringe gel, is this a risk of hiv or hepatitis b or c? Do I need to test? It is save to change the needle for a new one and use the same syringe with gel to inject other patient? I would appreciate your advice

Your doctor didn't give you hiv. hiv is dead in air. The other person's injection didn't involve the doc drawing their blood. The only way you can get hiv from needles is sharing  them to inject with but that didn't happen since he changed needles.

Doc didn't draw blood from the other person into the barrel then later inject it into you, so I don't know how you think you could be infected.
