Yes indeed daisy asked the right question - what type do you have. Knowing your type is important.
When you get a chance, read the herpes handbook at www.westoverheights.com ( and your partner should read it too ). It's filled with accurate and up to date info on herpes and how to reduce the risk to your partner.
i have read an article stating how some people may have been exposed to the hiv virus (and hepatitis) because the hospital didnt use the proper sterilization on colonoscopy equipment. and another similar article that stated those that underwent ear, nose, and throat treatments were exposed too. how likely is someone to catch the hiv virus from a situation like this?
I;m a 69 year old male with a healthy sex appetite & wonder about the reliability & safety of these products.
Tattoo artists/piercers are trained on safety measures regarding bloodborne pathogens and do not reuse needles and they sterilize equipment between all customers.
Power-generating equipment, arc welding equipment and powerful magnets (as in medical devices, heavy equipment or motors) can inhibit pulse generators. Patients who work with or near such equipment should know that their pacemakers may not work properly in those conditions.
Cellphonelphones available in the United States (less than 3 watts) don't seem to damage pulse generators or affect how the pacemaker works.
Good evening doctor
I have a problem with gingivitis and i had some blood after brushing my teeth the other day

I am so scared:) I was at a discount store and poked my hand with a safety pin that was taken apart, basically mangled. It looked like somebody had twisted it. It was on top of a clothing rack. It drew blood on me. The store had just opened and I am wondering if someone had purposely placed it there. Can I get hiv fro it and if not can you explain why? Thank you I am so scared!!!!
Good question! Made me go surfing the net as I have never paid attention to OTC A1c kits. First stop was the NGSP [National Glycohemoglobin Standardization Program]. These are the folks who write the standards for A1c testing; hospitals & independent labs & mfg'ers of home kits and lab equipment. I noticed the Bayer Metrika A1cNOW met their stringent standards. For a list of labs and kits and what HbA they can test go here. On the left click on HbA1c Test Methods... http://www.ngsp.
I have seen experts in this forum repeatedly say latex condoms provide 100% safety against HIV. In the recent past I have had protected v aginal intercourse with a prostitute 2 times. Evn though I am sure I will never do it and am scared reading condom protection is not 100%. Could you please advise.
Relax; there is no risk at all. Even in households, if someone in the home has HIV, and even if that person or others get various cuts and nicks, and if they share bathrooms, kitchens, and eating utensils, HIV is never transmitted except between sex partners or those who share injection equipment. This situation is similar. HIV simply isn't transmitted by such sorts of minor, indirect contact. You sed a condom, which was smart.
It sounds like your doctor uses the same sort of equipment that used to be routine (20+ years ago), i.e. a sterile bacteriological loop. These were the norm among many STD specialists before modern disposalble swabs becamse widely available. And my guess the scalpel blade was disposable, single-use.
There is no reasonable possibility the doctor does not carefully sterilizes the loop (and scalpel, if not disposablet) between patients.
How come there is so much debate about the reliability of EIA test before 3 month there is actually a difference between RELIABILITY AND CONCLUSIVE RIGHT????
We all know that Conclusive is only 3 months as said from the CDC, but reliable would be?
There is general agreement in the medical community that it is safe to take loratidin or budesonide. The question of safety of Spiramycin has not been determined with certainty. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has categorized the relative safety (of the fetus) of drug
taken during pregnancy as follows. To my knowledge, Spiramycin has not been categorized by the FDA but other similar drugs in the same category are usually placed in Category C.
