WASHINGTON -- A report released on the eve of the first presidential debate paints a stark contrast between President Obama's and Mitt Romney's healthcare policies and their potential impact on the uninsured and health spending.
The Commonwealth Fund said Tuesday 45 million more people would be uninsured under the proposed policies of former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney compared with President Obama.
I have a friend who is a healthcare provider and caters to patients with HIV and other infectious diseases. As blood was extracted they were accidentally pricked with the needle of a patient who has the aids virus. PEP was used minutes after and the friend has confided in me. I dont know what to say as they are so loving and caring to patients now they are fearful. I dont work in that field and dont know what to say while they await results.
Hi guys I was talking to a friend he told me that southern Arizona aids foundation does HIV testing do you think next time I actually need to test this would be a good place to get testing done? Iam thinking there probably a little more knowledge on the subject then most clinics.
you are putting the horse before the cart here.
for starters...it is highly unlikely that she has hiv...most ppl dont.
the odds are definitely on your side...it is much harder for a man to contract hiv from a woman.
the deed is done. you need to get off the computer and stop reading about hiv...all you are doing is adding fire to your anxiety. so far, you have over 60 posts / comments regarding this.
test at the appropriate time to know your status.
Can you get HIV from squashing a mosquito that is full of HIV-positive blood?
I've read that mosquitoes simply don't carry enough blood (and therefore enough HIV particles) to transmit AIDS (http://www.rci.rutgers.edu/~insects/aids.htm), BUT:
- A mosquito can carry ca. 1-10 microlitres of blood.
- A syringe needle has a capacity of ca. 20 microlitres (http://hivinsite.ucsf.edu/insite?page=ask-01-06-11).
The patient, that this may have occurred with, was very sick and looked like they could have had full blown AIDS. After looking at the health history, no HIV/AIDS diagnosis was found; only myelodysplastic syndrome. No history of HAART treatment was noted; only antineoplastic agents. I have been really worried about this ever since. What is my level of risk if the patient was HIV positive (with full blown AIDS), indicating a high viral load, and if a tiny fleck of blood hit my cracked lip?
There might be a risk (page 12 in the document below) and HIV post-exposure prophylaxis should be followed:

If you are going to be studying for a career in the healthcare field, you will be taught all of this in your classes.
As a retired healthcare professional myself, I can appreciate your concern, but I can also reassure you that the risks are extremely minimal.
I wish you the best in your career.
no risk for both
being 17yo even if you get hbv you will clear it with no symptoms unless you use drugs, remember aids is not a consequence of hiv but of drug use of any type.
wow. I very upset I attacked the very foundation. It was called " wake up" it was a dicussion on the healthcare system. N meds for meds is not the way to go. I stated that measuring ceratonin n dopeamien was a theory. They have no way to measure ur levels.

Once I was told that an HIV test would be involved with my medical I developed an irrational fear regarding my dental experience after reading in the news about healthcare providers that are being sanctioned for using unsterile equipment. I guess my question is - Am I being irrational even worrying about this? Is it even possible to be infected by HIV in a healthcare setting?

Firstly, it is important to mention that stroke recovery can be somewhat generalized due to research in the area, however it is always best to seek the advice of a neurologist and your healthcare team who can assess your situation and provide a more individualized idea of your dad’s likely recovery.
