Dear Sir or Madame, I would like to consult you a question about toothbrush. I'm living in a apartment sharing with other tenants. Today when I used my toothbrush to brush my teeth. I found there are some blood in the toothpaste bubble after brushing. I seldom get gum bleeding, so I'm afraid that the blood was on the toothbrush before my brushing. But I didn't check it just used directly.The toothbrush was put together with other tenant's. If the blood was not mine and it happened to have HIV. Will I get HIV? some of my housemates have complicated sexual relations. maybe they have HIV.
After this brushing, I used antibacterial soap to clean the toothbrush and brushed my teeth again. Is it helpful to prevent the transmition?
I want to know that If a person use a bloody toothbrush with HIV. Will HIV get transmited in this way? Can toothpaste kill the HIV. I'm really afraid.
