Brief Answer:
No need to worry that much.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Here are the answers as per your queries:
1. Reputed hospitals never use used needles for patients and it is not practised even in clinics/pharmacies. So no need to worry regarding contaminated needles in this case.
2.HIV test not required as of now. However, you can do a screening test for reassurance.
3. Unfortunately, as far as I'm aware of, no such creams available. I'd strongly suggest not going for such products claiming extraordinary results.
Please consult a Urologist for erection problem and get thoroughly evaluated at first (to rule out any organic or psychogenic pathologies).
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

1) According to you,there is no need to get tested for HIV? Kindly reconfirm.i will not go for HIV screening then.
2) I have been diagnosed with psychogenic ED by urologist and cialis doesn't works anymore. Shall I try Viagra? I have heard about products like Vig Rx Oil and pro solution gel ,that can give instant erection. Please suggest me such product also.
Brief Answer:
No need of HIV testing.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
No need for HIV testing. You can go for a screening just for reassurance.
No ointments or oils provide an instant erection. Products that claim such effects are fakes.
Psychogenic ED needs evaluation by a psychiatrist also. You may require anti-anxiety medicines also. Don’t start Viagra on your own.
