I am pregnant and I went to the clinic for pelvic examination, I didn't see the doctor using a new hand glove to examine me, if the hand glove has already been used on an infected person, am I at risk of hiv

[CurfewX]

The only risks for HIV in adults are:
1) Having unprotected anal or vaginal sex, or
2) sharing intravenous needles with IV drug users.

HIV is not transmitted by objects, even if those objects have blood or fluid on them. This includes exam gloves.  You did not have any risk for HIV and you do not need to test.

if the hand glove has been used and has vaginal discharge on it and it was used on me won't I be at risk, I'm worried about contracting hiv

Read my post again. Everything you need to know is already there. We do not provide anxiety support.

OK, thanks

Please one last question, I'm experiencing itchiness of the vagina since then, so that why I'm being worried about hiv

Your question was fully answered, and you were advised that you were not at risk for HIV. There is nothing more for our members to say about your no-risk event. If you are concerned about itchiness, you will need to see a doctor for examination.
