Avatar n tn m not sure what you mean, perhaps you are referring to another person ( i did find another fingernail related questions but that questioner seemed to be asking if HIV fluids could maintain infectious virus when put in the mouth -- my question was whether or not the virus could pass in through the fingernail itself) Regardless, I have one more question im hoping you all could help me with.
Avatar n tn 1. If the technician have a dried blood in my car and my fingernail hit or touches the blood and used the same fingernail to scratch my pimple rash...Do you think this is hcv transmission? Higk Risk, Low Risk Or No Risk? Begging for your merciful answer..My anxiety is killing me...
Avatar m tn After two minutes i immediately check his hands and he show me his hand his fingernail is long..We are five in the kitchen that time..If my friend is tried to prick me with a syringe all the people will notice the syringe that time.. What will be your advise in my situation? do i need a test for this matter?
Avatar f tn The other thing is, really wash your hands before checking the cervix. The vagina is one of the cleanest spots in the body, with specific flora that keep it healthy, and hands are able to be one of the most bacteria-laden parts of the body besides the anus, pretty much. Don't introduce foreign bacteria, viruses, fingernail dirt, sweat, funguses, yeasts, anything if you can help it. Better not to check the cervix at all than to give yourself an infection. Good luck!

There's a condition called 'Terry's Nails' that is sometimes associated with advanced liver disease: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry's_nails It doesn't really sound as though this is what you're describing, but you should let them know regardless.
Avatar n tn The nurse had performed tests before mine..it was a busy clinic. I had a bloody fingernail, which I noticed after the test due to cold weather which was touched by the nurse. - If there was residual blood on the nurses hands (gloved or not), could this infect me via the small cut in the fingernail (minor bleeding) or even the cut caused by the fingerprick test? Patient before me was tested ~1-2 mins before. - Any reason to test? - Is this No risk?
Avatar f tn Is it possible the herpes virus could still be in my fingernail and somehow get passed through his nose? If i sound ridiculous forgive me i know nothing about herpes but the fact that i have it.
Avatar n tn When chlamydia first appears in an apparently monogamous relationship, and when that relationship has been going on for several months or more, by far the most common explanation is that the relationship in fact has not been truly monogamous -- i.e., that one partner or the other has had sex with someone else. That's not absolute, and no laboratory test is perfect. Of course, you are in a position to judge his fidelity and truthfulness; I cannot.
Avatar f tn Is fingernails determine who the father is?
Avatar f tn Why is my fingernail on my middle finger starting to pull away from my skin and turn white and the bottom half is pitting and peeling? What could this be?
Avatar m tn t know where this should go but I just want to know what can cause some or all of these combined symptoms, Hair thinning, lost of appetite, a few dark toenails but not all of them, 1 fingernail half light pink half light brown with vertical lines no ridges, wart on ball of both feet and lately some lost of taste (I'm thinking due to thin white film on tongue) I was a Severe smoker until recently when I stopped.

Avatar m tn Do you think the virus will transfer from my hand to zipper to then underneath my fingernail? Is it possible to get underneath the fingernail from a small metal zipper?
Avatar n tn Do I need to be worried every time I get a cut out in public? Yesterday i was in our office trying to make jokes to everyone...when i got home that i had dried blood in my fingernail.. and i have a wound near my fingernail. Do i need to be concern in this matter?
Avatar n tn when i got home i had dried blood in my fingernail.. and i have a wound near my fingernail. I felt hurt but i forget to check in our office because i was talking to my client.but i don't have any idea where did i get this wound. Do i need to be concern in this matter I felt hurt that time but i ignored that pain.The pain is not so very painful thats why i ignored it. I am thinking that it can be a syringe that hit my finger near my fingernail... 1.
Avatar m tn Does herpes whitlow cause pain under the fingernail and forearm? I've heard of the tingling and burning, I'm not feeling either but I'm feeling numbness under the fingernail and forearm? I did use the bathroom and with the same hand I pulled up my zipper and then in seconds used the underneath of my fingernail very firmly to secure it without washing my hands, very paranoid I spread the virus to my zipper then to the underneath of my fingernail.
Avatar m tn Could this be a type of fingernail material growing from the scalp? The physical consistency of this 'hair' strongly resembles that of a fingernail. Extensive searching the net has found nothing. Surely my daughter is not the only case like this. I read about keratin, but it seems the keratin in hair and nails is the same.
Avatar f tn I have hsv2 for about a year now. My questions are I have this small lump that itches like crazy all day and night. Last night I woke up and itched it and it was bleeding. Is this a herpes outbreak? On my shaft it would never bleed and on my butt it itches 10x worse and bleeds. How contagious are these sores on the butt? I used my direct fingernail and did not wash my hands after I itched and went back to sleep.
Avatar n tn s came back 3 weeks later. i also noticed lately that my fingernail beds are really pale but at the end behing the white part it is a dark pink. does anybody else notice this? i know that nails can give clues to health problems and i read that it can be related to heart problems. the cause of the pvc's was never known because i don't have insurance and couldn't afford to continue testing for it. all i had was bloodwork and ekg.
Avatar m tn Hi, I have a question about HIV/AIDS and solo masturbation. Is it possible to come into contact with blood, etc. in the environment through touching things, and then have HIV/AIDS spread through masturbation after this? How long can HIV survive in the environment? Could it be preserved under a fingernail, etc.? I realize that I'm probably overly paranoid about this, but needed some reassurance. Thanks.
