is there any hiv hep b,c risk since i used a soap dish that was open to wash my hands and most likely roaches went inside the soap dish bottle?i made a mistake read the second question only

Answered by Dr. Vivek Chail (6 hours later)

Brief Answer:
No hepatitis B or C or HIV risk from picking nose and soap dish

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing back with an update.

There is no risk of hepatitis B or C or HIV from the picking nose and soap dish incident. The viruses need a medium to thrive and there it is difficult for the viruses to get deposited in the soap dish without significant contamination from a previously infected person.
