Along with Flu symptoms I also had oral thrush for which my Dr gave me Nystatin.
NO RISK and your symptoms are not those of ARS
Nothing to worry about
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.
Was a needle used or just dental instruments
You were never at risk. There has only been one transmission by a dentist and it was intentional.
As far as I remember it was only instruments.
in what way did the transmission occur in that case ? was that from patient to patient ? Dr said very low risk.
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 ?
Seconds...HIV becomes deactivated shortly after exposed outside the body and to the elements on the world. Again you have no concern.
