False Nails & Hepititis(hepatitis)

Hi,

I recently got my nails done and the technician nicked my cuticles, drawing blood. She wiped them then applied nail varnish which stung. I didnt think at the time but now I'm paranoid; can I contract Hep B&C or HIV from the nail varnish or am I just worrying for nothing??

You are worrying for nothing. Think of all the times this happens each day in a nail salons but you never hear of ppl getting those diseases from nail salons. Most places have to sterilize their equipment. You're fine.
