STOP! There is no greater risk of contracting HIV, hepatitis, endocarditis, or sepsis than sharing injection needles or used medication vials! There is also nothing about interrupting testosterone replacement therapy that could be considered dangerous or life-threatening. Do not share needles or medication vials with anyone
