HIV From Using Needles * Sharing needles or syringes, even once, is an easy way to be infected with HIV and other germs. * Sharing needles to inject drugs is the most dangerous form of needle sharing. Blood from an infected person can remain in or on a needle or syringe and then be transferred directly into the next person who uses it. * Sharing other types of needles also may transmit HIV and other germs. These types of needles include those used to inject steroids and those used for tattoo-ing or ear-piercing. * If you plan to have your ears pierced or get a tattoo, make sure you go to a qualified technician who uses sterile equipment. Don't be shy about asking questions. Reputable technicians will explain the safety measures they follow.
