Hi,
I'm a nurse who often has very chapped skin on her hands. I read a study that has data showing that rectal secretions have a higher HIV viral load than either blood or semen. A nursing home resident that I care for is coinfected with both HIV and Hep C. The resident also has a medical condition which results in bloody diarrhea alternating with constipation. Nurses have put suppositories and done rectal checks on him. Can I contract either Hep C or HIV by inserting my chapped finger in his anus using a vinyl glove? (My facility does not use latex or nitrate gloves).
Hi,
My name is Jonathan. I was visiting India recently, and one day, was walking in a crowded mall when I felt a prick or strong vibration on my left hand's index finger.
It was just a prick and strong vibrating sensation, but no pain at all. I later noticed that some of the foreskin was gone, though.
Could it be a possibility that I have been infected with HIV or Hepatitis, etc? Maybe the person used an infected needle or syringe with Vibrovein to transmit the infection?
Please help!
PS: Also sent this question via email. Sorry to repeat, but am really worried.
Hi i am having acute symproms of hep c. I tested for hiv after 3 months which came back negative. However i was very sick on the day of the test. Is my test conclusive although that i may have hep c symptoms and i was very sick due to this?? Also would co-infection with hiv and hep c effect my tests. I am very worried on what to do.
Please answer i want to know what i should do next in regard to testing. I want to know if my results are conclusive. Thanks guys
Today I went to an educational event for school-related purposes at a mental health and addictions hospital. I went to the washroom in a staff bathroom on a floor that appeared to be mainly offices however I later found out that the floor also contained a substance addiction program for children and youth from the Caribbean and Africa. When I went to the washroom I sat on the toilet without thinking. I don't recall if I looked at the toilet to ensure that there was no urine or menstrual blood on the toilet. Yesterday, I went running and my pants chaffed my bum. If there was menstrual blood from an HIV+ or HepC+ person what are my chances of contracting either virus since my bum was chaffed from the day before? Should I be especially concerned due to the location of the bathroom? Should I get tested? Thanks.
