if you know someone who is risking exposure to HIV/AIDS or other diseases,
try to get him or her to stop or get more information - if this is a
commercial business, report them to the proper authorities for health
.
you should wait a period of time after brushing teeth or flossing for kissing and
sexual play incase the gums are bleeding.
dentists should be asked about the risks of HIV transmissions in the
dental office - if you do not feel he/she responded well, see another dentist
and tell that dentist to get educated - dentists must use precautions to avoid
HIV and AIDS transmission.
persons with bleeding gums, receding gums, cavities and other mouth
diseases should be careful as open sores can leave you at risk of transmitting
or receiving HIV/AIDS or other diseases.
please keep your mouth, gums and teeth in good condition.
do not share your dental floss, toothpicks, tooth brush
(etc...) with anyone.
many people hide dental problems and do not think of them as a risk. Even
I had 3 root canals and over 30 fillings done recently, I had to spit blood in
my hands for people to see it may be a problem!
