dentist instruments
I tried to find a question similar to mine but i couldn't find one. Three weeks ago I went to the dentist for a cleaning and a checkup. After my cleaning my gums were bleeding then I had xrays taken. Then the dentist checked my mouth with an instrument. I didn't realize if he took it out of the package like the hygienist did for my cleaning. My question is if the instrument was used on another patient before me who had hiv and it wasn't sterilized could i get hiv from the instrument. The reason I ask is I have diarrhea and nausea everyday for two weeks now and its driving me crazy. I am sexually active and I use condoms but you never know. Im trying to get to the bottom of my symptoms. Could it be the dentist or sex or deep kissing too many girls? Please respond.
You are not going to contact HIV from a dentist cleaning your teeth. All the instruments are sterilized.
Thank you for your reply. Im bugging out like usual but if it wasn't sterilized would the virus be dead by the time he used the instrument on me?
