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 made a topic earlier today, which can be found here:

then I found this forum and thought maybe my problem fits here as well.
Long story short, I thought that I had gotten HIV from enviromental surfaces (blood in public bathroom) years ago and I thought I was having symptoms of advanced HIV. I went and got tested in an HIV counselling cabinet (or whatever it's called).
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.
well your machine has to be adjusted to a level that is right for you based on your sleep study! So given that you bought one already, what did they set it at? I would have waited as most likely now you will have to pay a fee for them to reset it, as you can't. Once it is set, that is all folks. My sleep studies determined that I wake up 33 times per hour, 18 being respiratory!
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!!!!
How important is it that a patient stay face down following vitrectomy to repair a macular hole? There is equipment available for rental or purchase to provide face down head support. Is it mandatory, highly recommended or just an option for comfort?
The use of silicone oil or gas (C3F8 or SF6) needs to be decided on between you and your surgeon.
According to the Silicone Study done by the NEI the outcomes for both gas tamponade and silicone oil tamponade provide similar success rates.
Most surgeons that, I as a patient, have encountered use gas tamponading over silicone oil b/c it does not require additional surgery for removal. However, in some cases such as those patients with sleep apnea the use of a gas bubble would be contrindicated.
I finally went and had an HIV test done at a HIV counselling/testing cabinet. The result came back negative. However, about 2,5 weeks later I got a fever without any other symptoms. The fever was the highest when it started (37.6 C) and it's ongoing for 10 days now and it's usually 37.1-37.3 C.
My psychiatrist said that it's simply an obsessive thought.
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.
Does anyone know the reason(s) for constantly trapped gas in the diaphragm area that also radiates to the back between shoulder blades? My husband was once told that he has gastritis. He has taken Nexium over the years. He also has taken Prilosec OTC which was recommended by his physician. But, now it seems that no matter what he does he continually has gas pain and discomfort.
re going to be moving, and get this the closing is within a few days of the babies due date (august 13th) so the question is this. What (if anything) should we look for/keep in mind in the townhome in regards to baby safety.
I have MANY symptoms that go on (see other posts) but one that really concerns me is that sometimes as I am going about whatever I am doing, I get a feeling like I am suddenly in slow motion. Like I have to force my body to keep doing what I'm doing - putting things in a filing cabinet, pressing the gas pedal in my car, pushing a cart down the aisle in the grocery store, etc. It only lasts about 2-5 seconds but is very strange and alarming. Sound familiar to anyone?
I understand that gas is commonly inserted to maintain pressure for healing, but that silicone oil can be an alternative. The face-down position for post-surgery recovery worries me because I have had front and back neck fusion and also worry about claustrophobia. What are the pros and cons of using the oil instead? From what I have read, the oil needs to be removed in a later surgery, and seems to prompt the development of cataracts. Is that correct?
