Hello Doctor,
I'm worried about a situation that happened at the dentist. I rinced my mouth with a used cup of water and my gyms were bleeding after a deep cleaning. I'm sure that the cup were used after seeing some yellow stain on it. After that, I'm also worried about the quality of the general cleaning of the others instruments. Am I at risk for HIV and Hepatitis C ? One thing reassume me is the time between me and the other patient (around an hour). If the HIV cannot survive on the cup or in the water, can HIV survive on the others instruments for an hour ? Should I be tested ? Sorry for the mistakes, english is not my first language ...
Thanks for your help
