What Are The Chances Of STD If Q Tip Is Reused For Swab Test?
i had q tip swab inside of my penis for std testing..if the q tip was previously used and had hiv or any std, do i have any risk? i know im being very paranoid but the gonorria/clymidia result came unsatisfactory. and other doctor told me it never happen before..that looks real suspisous..what if the nurse, who gave me the q tip swab test, re-used the q tip?

hello,
there are high chances of getting infection if the instrument is infected.
but it is not for sure that all will for sure develop infection.
there is a risk.
do keep a watch on your health.
do get yourself examined for it.
better do take proper precautions the next time around.
use only sterile instruments.
never use used instruments.
do monitor your health..
wish you good health
