Will transvaginal ultrasound transmit STDs?

by patty824, Jun 30, 2009 11:43PM
Dear Doctor,

I had a transvaginal ultrasound for my pregnancy test 2 weeks ago. I am concerned because I didn't see my OB put on   any medical condom. I was feeling too sick to ask anything and I remembered I told myself if he did so it must be safe. But now I looked back it really worries me... The office transfered me to an "expert" who never picks up the phone. I don't have any symptoms but Will I get any STDs or HIV from the incident? Please help!!

STD's are not a concern. They are not passed from enviromantal surfaces.
