Is there any risk of contracting HIV from the nurse re-using the potentialy contaminated blood tube
holder sleeve? She placed the needle in my arm, then put the tube into the sleeve. Drew my blood, withrew the tube, then the needle from my arm. Then used an attachment on the sharps container to remove the needle from the sleeve. Then placed the sleeve back on the table for later use. When the vacum sealed blood tube is removed from your arm, does the blood in the needle go back into your body?
