Can somebody please tellme if there is a "AC" vein in the "right" arm?

Can somebody please tell me if there is a "AC" vein in the "right" arm? All of my veins have always been rather deep and harder than usual to notice, and on top of that all of my accesable arm veins had been collapsed due to shooting dope until I recently found my left arm "AC" near the bend of the left elbow when visiting a phlebotomist to give blood (never even knew it was there). Now I have been hitting in that vein so much I am scared its going to be shot soon and I cant seem to find any bit of evidence online suggesting that there is a ac vein in the right arm as well...
 
Take a look at these images...

Well I have looked at many images on the web and technically the ac is called the acessory-cephalic vein and I cant seem to find any pics that state "Right upper Limb" AND "Acessory-Cephalic Vein" but there are numerous that state Acessory-Cephalic when the diagram is of the "Left" upper limb. Either way, this diagram is clearly of an ac vein, I realize that. Its just that every bit of literature I could find about the ac vein could only be matched to the left arm. And not only that I cant seem to find the ac on my right arm...
 
For the record, while everyone's veins vary and yours do too left-to-right... they all follow the same basic path, and in your limbs, it IS all basically the same, yes.
