Avatar f tn I am not too familiar with blood alcohol, but I would think that maybe you could have been dehydrated and that could have caused the reading. Try drinking more water next time.

No amount of pumping will make it come out faster than your body normally metabolizes (which is roughly one drink per hour) with that being said the alcohol in your milk is the same as that in you blood stream, not in your drink. If you have one glass of wine your breast milk will not be 12% alcohol like the wine was. It will be about 0.
Avatar m tn However, your also are battling diabetes and alcohol could worsen it. Alcohol coverts rapidly to sugar and raises the blood sugar. There are ways to minimize this like always balancing a small amount of alcohol with protein or healthy fats as well as avoiding sugary drinks. Having invested a full year of your life in this tx and all you have had to go through, why not try and avoid alcohol and to help improve your glucose levels?
Avatar n tn BUT i saw a qs answered by doctor hook where the exposure was that the guy had sex with a hiv + prostitute, and his penis had an abrasion at the base which was covered by blood when he finished intercourse. The guy said that the blood was because she had genital warts. The guy said that it stung when he applied alcohol to it.
Avatar f tn my mean half brother tried to scare me the other day by telling me that after blood has dried if you wet it again with a little bit of water or something that if it was hiv positive that it could reactivate the virus...i know it is a dumb question but is it true i just cant find an answer anywhere.
Avatar f tn Its great that he quit smoking! He should not drink alcohol. Beer is really high in carbs and will elevate blood sugar tremendously. Ans as the other poster said, it will be very hard on kidneys. I agree that denial of diabetes is a really big factor with people at times!
Avatar f tn I believe that getting an expert/Doctor opinion is best so you know the facts but I do believe that mixing drgs with Alcohol is not a good idea, as you have come here for other opinions it tells me you know this and are concerned,It is well know that drinking alcohol can raise blood pressure,Maybe take this as a call to moderate your Habits , see your Doctor to feel better that you have done no harm..Yet ..
466909 tn?1207568232 It's nobody's fault but mine that I'm an addict. If I didn't take Oxycontin, I would have found my addiction in the bottom of a bottle of alcohol or another substance. The fact is that Oxycontin, when used correctly and responsibly, helps millions of people with chronic pain live normal lives. It's selfish addictive thinking that makes my addiction more important than their quality of life.
Avatar f tn What are some important MUST KNOW baby facts that a first time mom needs to remember for when their child comes?
Avatar n tn and i it true that the smaller the amount of HIV-infected fluid one is exposed to, the lower the chances of getting infected? like a glass full of blood being more of a transmission threat than a drop of blood?
Avatar n tn The nurse was not wearing gloves and got blood on her hands, but this is not my problem, in am just stating the facts . Then she stopped the bleeding by isolating the tube (I think she turned a knob or something) and cleaned the blood from my hand with alcohol solution on cotton swab. She still was not wearing gloves. She had no visible cut on her fingers, I noticed that before she started the procedure.
Avatar n tn m not doing this to make you feel better (if that makes sense)...These are the facts. A single instance a condom break during penile/vaginal sex with someone who uses condoms regularly I wouldn't consider close to something that should rent space in your mind. I'm NOT saying don't test, but the chances of you being positive are as likely as what we've already discussed...which is to say... Don't let this rent a single second's space in your head.
148588 tn?1465778809 There are so many different studies and opinions on this issue, I don't think it will ever be resolved... We all know that study data can be skewed any way one wants to skew it, in order to come up with the preferred results. By the way, the video in the link I posted is exactly the same as the video in the original post.
2109562 tn?1347253848 If they're irregular, it's possible she's not even the whole 3 months along, which would kind of help because the sooner you quit the better. However, she won't know until the doc appt and shouldn't stress too much about it. What's done is done and cannot be reversed. There's no hard facts on small amounts of liquor because they can't really study it to say ok stop, this much more and your baby will have FAS.

801413 tn?1333539276 With the estimated hemorrhage rate to be 2% it would take about 3 newborn blood crises to prevent one UTI. A newborn only needs to lose a single ounce of blood to go into hemorrhagic shock and there are at least 117 "reported" circumcision deaths every year in the US. Over four times as many boys die from circumcision than choking!! -Cervical Cancer? Penile Cancer? Seriously I think those two are grasping for straws. Cervical cancer has one cause, HPV.
Avatar f tn Furthermore, I would also point out that when blood is drawn during a manicure it is your blood coming out of the cut, not someone else's being introduced deep into tissue which is needed for HIV to be killed. I have never heard that receipt of manicure has ever transmitted HIV to anyone, nor have I ever hear that getting a manicure could ever even theoretically result in HIV transmission. I would not worry now or in the future. I hope my comments are helpful.
Avatar m tn Although alcohol does affect ferility, I don't think this would be a huge problem right now. I would, however, strongly suggest having her go to her obgyn and getting a full check up. It's better to know up front if there could be any problems and what you guys should or should not be doing.
Avatar n tn Hi alcohol can cause low blood sugar levels for some due to its effect on the liver. But even more it can cause those person with diabetes to pay less attention to their health and blood sugars. This does not mean you can never drink alcohol, But it should be taken in moderation only. When you do have a first drink (remember moderation) do it in the company of a trusted friend so you can safely see the effect it has on you.
