Avatar m tn how likely is someone to catch the hiv virus from a situation like this? even on a re-used blood draw needle (which i know they use new ones, i am just saying IF it happened) how likely can one actually get the virus from this too? thanks for any help.
Avatar m tn No tattoo artist is going to reuse a needle on you. Believe me. They have been trained on safety precautions. They can't be an artist without passing tests and courses- these include bloodborne pathogen safety protocols. No one reused a needle on you. This can't even happen by accident. No one is going to leave a used needle laying around, pick it up, then use it on the next customer. This DOES NOT happen. Doing something like this places the artist at way more risk than the customer.
Avatar m tn The article you reference makes no mention of HIV - that is because HIV cannot be transmitted that way. If you have other questions about the safety of using dental equipment, we suggest visiting the Dental Health forum, as this forum is HIV specific.
Avatar n tn Does that mean installation safety or environmental safety? One responder commented on the installation safety and another poster commented on environmental risks. Another responder parsed the OP's question and said the question related to warranty, and there should not be a comment on environmental issues as that was not the question.

572651 tn?1530999357 If you saw my email inbox you might be surprised at some of the mail I receive. I have signed up on distribution lists for many medical sites, including Nursing Times from the UK. I received an announcement today about an upcoming convention in LONDON, that may be of interest to some of you. This convention/conference is September 29-30 and the registration is FREE. I wish I could go, but its a bit far to commute. Some of you who live in the UK may be interested, though.
Avatar m tn Can a laser mouse for a computer cause permanent vision damage? I know that certain lasers can. I ask this because I recently bought a new laser mouse and looked at the bottom of the mouse because i felt something stuck when i moved my mouse. I looked at the lense where the laser is supposed to be. I have maybe looked at the lense where the laser is about 2-3 times each at different times. I did not pick up the mouse and put it directly infront of my face or eyes.
475300 tn?1312423126 I have a tattoo of a wizzard on my back that I absolutely hate (one of 5) I want it done over with maybe a dragon. So far I am clear of the hep and would love any precautions IF I get it redone. I know the best one is to leave it alone but it bugs me. I know about the autoclave, clean shop, ect but should I maybe buy my own ink?
Avatar m tn Recently i went to a urology clinic to check on my penis itching issue. He use a swab to take the cells inside my urethral and a small blade to scratch on my gland penis. I think this to check for STD. I noticed that the swab they use is like wire swab and not disposal item. I ask them and he say sure, they will clean it everytime. same with the blade. What if they forgot to clean it?? Here my question: 1) Can hiv survive outside its hosts?
Avatar n tn I'd say the one on your stomach, but I don't know for sure. My first ultrasound was at 7+5 and they did it on my stomach.

Avatar m tn Third, almost all phlebotomy and injection equipment are now manufactured to be a ONE use only item, with safety features that actually render the equipment unable to be used a second time. If you cannot accept this, then get yourself some professional help.
2168213 tn?1357062544 Actually hub got the vibrator..we haven't used it..and I'm a little bit afraid..tmi I know..I just want to know for safety purposes. Thanks so much!
Avatar f tn A professional phlebotomist would NEVER, EVER reuse a needle. We don't play "what if" games here.
Avatar f tn My nephew is throwing chairs in school.He is five years old!
Avatar f tn I just cant believe how much of a problem this has become. Is it contaminated water? Is it run off? Is it turning manure in the soil at the wrong times like (not waiting for fall, or not waiting for it to be (oooh, I know the word)--anyway--when its all dried up and dust like. Or is it the factory? (dirty equipment) Or is it people deficating in the fields? Or is it wild animal leavings? These people need to be doing everything they can to insure food safety.
Avatar f tn Im 30 weeks on tuesday and heading camping on the weekend for a week. Obviously a lot of bumps wouldnt be safe, but is it okay to ride on a jet ski and go for boat rides? Considering the water to be fairly flat. How about going on a ski biscuit too? Could it cause labor to come early or should it be fine? Anyone else gone on a jet ski and done water activites late in pregnancy?
148588 tn?1465778809 The plant, near San Luis Obispo, risks catastrophic failure during an earthquake and should be shuttered pending a public review of its safety, according to a petition that Friends of the Earth filed with federal regulators Tuesday. The group filed the petition with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, arguing that Diablo's design may not be strong enough to withstand earthquakes from fault lines that nearly surround the plant.
Avatar n tn I also posted this on the ENT board, but I decided to post here as well since I am unsure of the cause. For the past 4.5 years, I have been dealing with a very annoying and distressing problem. It started very suddenly with a strong feeling of disorientation and ear pressure/ringing in my right ear. My doctor referred me to an ENT who diagnosed "mild eustachian tube dysfunction." She gave me Nasacort and sent me on my way.
Avatar f tn I think a nurse used a dirty needle on me when I needed a iv in my arm in November. After she used the needle that I didn't see her open she open a new one and attempted to use that one instead.
Avatar f tn it is very difficult for a woman to "cause" a miscarriage with physical exertion, but it's possible. if your body is not properly taken care of (i.e. you lack proper nutrition or you just don't take good care of yourself or you push yourself too hard) it's possible to push your body to the point where it simply cannot support a pregnancy...but this is rare.
