STDs from Brazilian Wax
I went to a new salon yesterday for a Brazilian wax service. I am 35 years old, female, married, mother of two small boys, and one sexual partner my entire life (my husband). I noticed during the service that the technician was not wearing gloves and was re-dipping (double-dipping) the wax stick into the pot that presumably had been used on other clients. I was horrified by this as I have never encountered this unsanitary practice before. I am now very concerned about the risk of infection, disease, etc. Can you please tell me my risk of contracting STDs, including HIV, and whether I should seek testing?
