Use them for sure
It does happen believes me glass shards could tear your organs up bad esp is somehow got into blood say by a mistake IM shot goes through a vein and and of course the glass is gonna get stuck I'm the needle and be pushed back out into you muscle
Think bout it on the Micro level
Ever seen a slow motion sneeze
That but glass particles
Be smart and not cheap and not in hast
Do it right with filters needles always

I do when I use amps, hey it's just insurance and they're cheap too! I look at it like this, it's just one less thing for me to worry about..after all is said and done-it's your body to do with as you please.

Bro, I havent stared my cycle as Im on trt 400mg's every two weeks, thats besides the point, what I do is draw with a 18g needle, then remove and put on the 22g...but thats just me, I mean Im Sure you could use a filtered needle but thats just how I do it and no problems. My couple cents....

Well no or yes. You don't need to wash your hands or use and alcohol swab on the injection site but does your risk for a bacteria infection increase the answer is yes. Personally I have had a few infections not due to careless medical treatment but because of the lack of availability of good supplies. And for me if I could do anything extra to prevent I would.
