Is a blood test needle always new thing?
6 answers
I went to a hospital, took a blood test and didn't see if a needle was new one.

Yes, they use new ones for every test, even if you get multiple tests done.

Always! They're disposed of after use. Don't worry

At least in the developed countries, they are always new.

Yes, the nurse uses a fresh, sterilized needle/syringe for every blood draw and IV. A person would have to be certifiably crazy (I'm exaggerating a bit) to reuse a needle.

Yes. It' put in into a sharps container/bio hazard receptacle. I can't think of any hospital that would use the same needle. They would not even do that in a Third world country.
