dentist instruments

I tried to find a question similar to mine but i couldn't find one. Three weeks ago I went to the dentist for a cleaning and a checkup. After my cleaning my gums were bleeding then I had xrays taken. Then the dentist checked my mouth with an instrument. I didn't realize if he took it out of the package like the hygienist did for my cleaning. My question is if the instrument was used on another patient before me who had hiv and it wasn't sterilized could i get hiv from the instrument. The reason I ask is I have diarrhea and nausea everyday for two weeks now and its driving me crazy. I am sexually active and I use condoms but you never know. Im trying to get to the bottom of my symptoms. Could it be the dentist or sex or deep kissing too many girls? Please respond.

Thank you for your reply. Im bugging out like usual but if it wasn't sterilized would the virus be dead by the time he used the instrument on me?

in case you are NOT aware of your "issues"...let me tell them to you.

starting in november 2007...you've posted questions about these risks:

poked in the eye by a stripper's breast
used needle while getting hiv test
getting you anus fingered
kissing after going to the dentist
kissing with bruise on gum
fingering w/cut on finger
sharing cigarettes
kissing after biting your lip
vaginal contact after protected intercourse
girl licked your face with a cut on your cheek
getting a haircut
condom failure
stripper kissed you while you had a bloody cut on your bottom lip
tip of penis "touched" vagina
used needle
dentist instruments

HIV IS TRANSMITTED THROUGH...

UNPROTECTED VAGINAL/ANAL INTERCOURSE
SHARING IV DRUG WORKS
MOTHER TO CHILD

UNLESS YOU HAVE A RISK THAT FITS INTO ONE OF THE ABOVE CATEGORIES...YOU DO NOT HAVE A LEGITIMATE RISK AND DO NOT NEED TO POST ABOUT IT.

listen to me ! ! !  you have deep issues that need to be dealt with by a professional.  SEEK HELP FROM A MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONAL.
