Seconds...HIV becomes deactivated shortly after exposed outside the body and to the elements on the world. Again you have no concern.
I think that wasnt patient to patient.
Just a question regarding the basics of the virus. How long can it survive on inanimate objects (like the dental instruments) if the viral load is very high ?
in what way did the transmission occur in that case ? was that from patient to patient ? Dr said very low risk.
As far as I remember it was only instruments.
You were never at risk. There has only been one transmission by a dentist and it was intentional.
Was a needle used or just dental instruments
Why do you say so...
I mean I wasn't into all this, but my primary care doctor asked me if I had been into any risky activity out of the blue, and i told him the only one could be the dentist office. Then he explained me about the ARS symptoms, and also collected blood for the hiv test.
I had high fever, sore throat, muscle ache, and swelling around the throat area.
NO RISK and your symptoms are not those of ARS
Nothing to worry about
Along with Flu symptoms I also had oral thrush for which my Dr gave me Nystatin.
