Are syringes safe if you use different Needles

[bulx3ld0gs]

We each used different needles, her shot only took one time, and am I safe using the same syringe before? I never have done this and thought I was safe with just needle. I have insane anxiety and this makes me crazy. Please help someone

It's important to only use equipment once. Sharing a syringe is a bad idea; you can still pass diseases this way.

No, you should not even re-use syringes. That's why they are labeled "sterile single use only". If you re-use the syringe you risk infection, even with a new needle.

I hope that answers your question. You posted this in the wrong forum so I'm closing this thread. If you have a similar question in the future, try Other Drugs.

The above advice is correct, now allow me to explain why...Syringes are typically made of some sort of plastic. Plastics are porous, meaning they gots microscopic holes in which germs and junk may reside. As you drawback, the rig comes in contact with blood. Any microbes present in such can get in them pores and be transferred. Even bleach ain't 100% effective in cleaning. Don't risk it.

No you're not safe using the same syringe and only changing the needle. Unless you sterilize it and clean it thoroughly.

Syringes and needles are cheap, man.. just get a new one.

Not safe. Get new ones each and everytime. Just because you cant see blood doesn't mean its not there.

Simple: One syringe = one use - period! Order them online and by the box. Discreet shipping.

And...I believe this question has been thoroughly answered by several reliable members..."No, it is not safe to share syringes, even with a new needle!", to paraphrase...

Although, using bleach and changing needle tips(if you're using those kind of syringes that can be changed), is far superior to not taking any precautions!

Always use brand new equipment every time....If that's not possible, sterilize as best you can....

Anyone else need to reiterate the obvious here?

Specifically: blood gets in the syringe when you use them, so switching out lock tips isn't going to prevent the spread of any communicable disease or infection.
