| Response from Dr. Hightow-Weidman
 Hello there- I would not reuse a needle from anyone as this is a possible way to transmit HIV and other infections (e.g. Hepatitis C). Most lancet test kits are single use only however so my guess is the needle you used was new but I would certainly check to be sure. Take care, LHW | ||||||||
