I just went to the shadiest clinic in Shibuya for a rapid HIV test,... just wondering what anyones thoughts are on this. I tested negative, luckily, but when I got to the clinic, everything seemed normal. The receptionist was very polite and spoke great English, when she called my name for my turn to test, I walked down this hallway and then was told to turn the corner to.... a dirty old kitchen with an elderly Japanese woman standing beside an old chair in a nurse outfit! I should have just turned around and left, but stupidly I went ahead and sat down. The secretary asked me to hold out my arm and I immediately asked if the needle was new. She said of course it is, and the nurse pulled a small package off the shelf and showed me the needle inside, then she tore it open and showed it to me again. I went ahead, got the test, waited and got my negative result. Something just didn't sit right with me though,... I started having all these crazy what-ifs floating in my head and ran back to the clinic today to confirm again that the needle was new. The secretary was there and she assured me it was new and that after the test they properly dispose of the needle. Should I be worried at all or is this fine? I've been a nervous wreck waiting to take this stupid test, I hope I didn't put myself in a bad situation again... I told my friend and he said it should be fine, and assured me Japan isn't some third world country and they're not going to go around reusing needles which would be crazy. Right??
