Touch used needle and immediately touch vein

[vivek12312]

I am many worried, I went to make blood test, nurse clean my vein with spirit and threw one used needle in dustbin and again use that finder on my vein, and took blood and later put cotton with that same finger, My Quention is what happen if blood come on my vein by her finger and then puncture for drawing blood? Sec danger is she made cotton tiny ball with same finger and make band aid without spirit...does it spread HIV?

Thank you for your reply, I also made complaint In medical council for that, I can't see blood traces in her finger so I can't sure if there is blood or not, but I can't see any blood on my vein when she touch my vein,I used lots of spirit when she touch my vein, but after again she touch vein and drawn blood,Its like I own made layer of 1 mm of spirit,visible liquid then she again touch on vein, I am really worried and by help of Gov i will open that recording video today....

You will be fine. There is no reason to worry. as sassy said the chances of  blood borne diseases are really zero.

Hello~Normally when nurses do any type of blood draw, they wear gloves so as not to contaminate the patient, she should have been wearing them and then throwing them out after touching a used needle in my opinion. As to contracting HIV or any other blood-borne disease, the chances are EXTREMELY slim. If she did not have any blood on her finger or cotton, there is probably no way you could catch anything. I would, however, let the doctor and lab know what she did, she did not use sterile procedure or "universal precautions" such unsafe actions need to be reported.

Try not to worry, I am sure all is going to be fine, but do tell the health care team.
