infection from blood test

[leed13]

sorry for my bad English
I was making blood test and the nurse was very strange and I am afraid of her
she  touched the syringe (the part that penetrate the skin)
with her finger and also I saw her making massage with the same finger during the
withdrawal of blood in the place that she but alcohol on it where she was
withdrawing my blood

I am afraid that she intended to infect me by hiv or hep or other diseases

is that risk for hiv or hep or other diseases?

thanks for reply
she was massaging the vein (very close to the syringe) during the withdrawing not before withdrawing , when I see her the syringe tube was half filled (not before starting ) when I think with myself I found
1- she was trying to insert something to my blood
2- or there is something make the blood difficult to be withdrawn to the
syringe tube
3- or something wrong I don't understand

do you know why?

I understand exactly what you are saying. No there is no worry here about infection. Often the blood drawing person will pre-clean their finger before drawing blood because they need to feel where the vein is. This is actually common practice. You don't have any fever do you? If not I wouldn't worry about it at all. I used to draw blood and you have to feel the vein before drawing the blood. The person getting their blood drawn doesn't  always see that the blood drawer (Phlebotomist or nurse) has cleaned their finger or sometimes they wear gloves instead. But you won't get ill. It is a good question.
