Russian term or phrase: Ну и то я забираю своим новым шприцом, не знаю
Кать, как ты оцениваешь, свой риск заражения например гепатитом С? То есть может это будет через шприц, или в растворе?

Ну, вот если только в растворе. Ну и то я забираю своим новым шприцом, не знаю. Если только у нас в аптеках продают вату, через которую выбирается там или еще что-то… Пузырек какой-то. А так…

I’m sorry , I find this colloquial speech difficult to interpret. What’s Ну и то? And what does не знаю add? What’s the direction of the thought?

English translation:but I draw [the solution] out with my own syringe
Explanation:
"и то" is used to emphasise that the chance of getting infected is slim. I think "but" can convey it in this case.
here's how I see it:
Well, only if from solution. But I draw out with my own new syringe, ... I don't know.
I suppose there's a little 'thinking pause' before "I don't know" and probably the meaning is "I don't think it's possible, but I'm not sure".

И ТО частица разг.
1. Употр. при усилении признака или действия.
2. Употр. при подтверждении слов собеседника; правда, верно.
