Hello,
Yes it will appear. Blood is drawn out and if that is a big if the other person was hiv it owuld appear on the test.

Injection is different than a blood draw. Did she have a blood draw or was she injected with a used needle? I don't believe it's paranoid to be concerned if a needle was reused regardless if the other patient has an infectious disease or not. Nevertheless, it takes several weeks for enough antibodies to appear for the test to show positive for HIV infection.

Hospitals over there don't toss out all the old needles? They never use a needle twice here..... well, they're not supposed too.

one needle per person - we use them once then dispose of them. So each person gets there own new needle
