Dear lybrate-user there is no contact between the drawing syringe apparatus and disposable needle. The other end of the needle has a rubber sheath that prevents any blood leaking into the holder. When the technician presses the vacutainer against the rubber sheath, the needle enters the vacutainer and vacuum inside the container sucks the blood inside the vial. Pl don't loose your sleep over silly things.

Hello lybrate-user, from what you said, I think your fear is unwanted, here the tech was removing the plastic hub of the needle so that the blood would flow freely. In this there is no risk of hep b, c or hiv as you think.
