    Can you please explain how everyone is fine? I tend to over think and over react to these kinds of situations.

    There's your answer.
    The chances of infection in such a random manner are virtually ZERO.

    UNLESS one of the previous people that had blood drawen in this manner had HIV, there is NO chance of cross infection.
    Even if one or more was infected the chances of any spread are also virtually ZERO.
