I have a dentist appointment tomorrow. From what I see in this form you say its no risk
1) Is it true ?
2) I will go and get blood tests. Should I worry about anything?

Thank you very much. Yes I am taking blood but for cholesterol after I am done with the dentist and just thought to see if there is anything I should worry about

So you are giving blood for your oral work which isn't a risk.

Dentist's clinic is not a place where from anyone could get HIV.

1. Yes it is true, No risk.
2. No need for any blood test

Dentists have a standard procedure in place for sterilization of their instruments which ensures the elimination of the possibility of other virus like Hepatitis B or C. HIV was never a conceren because the virus can not survive outside the host
