If you want to get REALLY careful:

Use one needle to extract, replace it with a fresh one to actually poke yourself.

Wipe off the top of the vial with alcohol before extracting.

Inject as deeply as your can safely. Meaning for alomst ALL men, if you have 1" needles and are injecting in the glutes, push the pin ALL the way in. There is actually LESS pain and less chance of swelling if you get it far underneath the skin.

Be smart about injection sites and volumes. Meaning don't inject a TON of stuff like every other day into the same spot. Try to inject into the same spot only 1x a week.

I have 1.5" 22GA needles and I bury them all the way in. I have not had a problem yet exept one time i had blood shoot across the room about 3' when i pulled out . I think i went all the way through a blood vessle or something. I always aspirate.

With 1.5" in glutes, you can get away with not burying them in ALL the way.

As long as you aspirate, you should be fine.

Sterile needles and swabbing the site are really the only things you can do. Sometimes, people have shitty luck and get abcesses, or maybe necrotizing faciitis.....!
