No they use new needles for every blood donation.
Donate?
If you are going to a reputable place, I would like to think they would use sterile supplies. In which case No. I dont think it would be likely.
No! Giving blood makes sure you use a new needle each time. As required for shots!

I realize that is is a popular fear, but is totally unfounded. You CANNOT...let me repeat this...you CANNOT contract AIDS from donating blood. All supplies used in collecting donated blood (blood bags, needles, etc.) are brand new and used only once (for the person donating blood).
All employees at blood centers are extensively trained in blood borne pathogens and their transmission. All surfaces are santized using strict standards and high grade cleaning products. All blood bank employees are provided lab coats and gloves for THEIR protection. They are required to immediately dispose of any lab coats, gloves or other protective gear that has been contaminated with blood.
