Well don't you think your dentist is aware of HIV and other problems?

I'm sure they are careful and unless he is going back and forth using instruments on you that he was using on someone else at the same time, how would a virus survive?  

But you don't need to live with doubts and worry.   Just get tested like you did for HEP B and HEP C and you'll be done.  You don't even have to wait like other people do.  

Also, everyone should get tested periodically, even if this didn't happen.  So just get it out of the way for this year and get on with your life.

Nowadays, contracting HIV from a dentist visit is no longer a threat. You don't need to worry about anything, check with your doctor what is going on with you and please forget about HIV.
