It is our policy at this office to use only disposable acupuncture needles. Therefore, there are no concerns whatsoever, of any of our patients receiving AIDS or a contagious disease from acupuncture needles. If you want to give blood and have received acupuncture only at this office, and the person who is taking the blood from you has a concern please have them call us so that we can assure them that only disposable acupuncture needles are used at this office.
