blood test

hi,everyone
there is something boring me.
Yesterday, i do a blood test in a construction field in dubai. The man (i even can't call him a doctor)stab my finger with a needle.
BUT he did not change a new needle before that!  After that, he fetch my blood by a small machine to see what is the blood type quickly. I did not see him changing the blood touch board either! I want to kown whether i have the possibility to infect HIV. Although, there is just a flash,  I really worry about it.
thanks  in advanced.

Yes, when it is used it is meant to be discarded, just because you didn't see it doesn't mean it didn't happen.

THAKN YOU! Teak, but what do you mean that Lancets aren't reused?
You mean that it is impossible to use a lancet many times?

You never had an exposure. Lancets aren't reused and had it been possible it still would not have been a risk. Lancets are not hollow core needles.
