I have hard time believing that someone is the clinic used lancet on several patients with no thorough sterilization in between. Please see the administrator or physician there and get your concern so if it is true,the problem can be resolved. With used lancet use, your chances of infection goes up if lancet had blood on it and was first stuck in artery or vein.it is very unlike that you got HIV.
