https://kdvr.com/2018/12/24/more-than-3700-patients-possibly-exposed-to-hiv-hepatitis-at-new-jersey-clinic/

The New Jersey Department of Health says more than 3,000 patients at a surgery center may have been exposed to HIV, hepatitis B and hepatitis C.

Officials say patients who had procedures done at the HealthPlus Surgery Center in Saddle Brook between January 2018 and Sept. 7, 2018 may have been exposed.

Surgery center administrator Betty McCabe says the exposure was due to deficiencies in infection control involving the cleaning of instruments and injection of medications. McCabe says 3,778 patients are being urged to get their blood tested.

The health department says the risk of infection is low, and no illnesses have been reported. The department called it an abundance of caution to suggest that people be tested.

McCabe says the center is offering to pay medical costs associated with testing.

Seems like it's pretty easy for a medical facility not to share and reuse needles. Maybe the people working there should be thrown in prison.

Not far from me, but I don't go to Saddle Brook. In August I went to a place more north of me (still in NJ) for wisdom teeth removals.

Not needles. There are disposable parts of most instruments which are never to be reused. Doing so basically makes the people who reused them responsible in this case for murder, or whatever knowingly infecting people with HIV is considered.

Dude, I don't care what you think you know. Needles are immediately disposed of after a procedure. The syringe and plunger can be kept. And like I said if they were keeping the needles and reusing them they may as well go straight to jail, putting people at that much risk is insane.

You're showing some clear ignorance of what a medical syringe comprises of. Parts that are kept are cleaned. Those parts aren't needles.

You should have just led with that tbh. Though I'm assuming it was needles since they mention injections.
