Can I get a disease from a hair transplant like HIV, hepatitis, etc..?

When facilities are not clean, instruments are reused with bits of human tissue in them (an example is a reusable implanter in a hair transplant commonly used by many doctors), or with sloppy techniques like a surgical technician or doctor moves between operating rooms and two different patients without adhering to the strict sterile techniques, you can get diseases transferred from one patient to another from such situations and these have been reported in the past. That puts the burden on all patients to make sure that they know the doctor, the facility and the history behind each of these entities before making the surgical decision?
