33 months ago
|
IM almost 100 percent clear from our last conversation this due my English barrier MY LIFE WILL CHANGE please we don’t get these viruses from ENVIRONMENT for e.g gauze Confirm each point below
1) Dr Hunter writes : “ Understand this which should cover all your future concerns if you don’t have unprotected sex and dont share drug injection equipment you will never catch hiv ,hepatitis C , B , STDs or any other blood borne infection no other precautions are needed “ ?
1a) POINT 1 above you mean to say drug injection equipment only means syringe attached to the hollow needle that you inject into your vein so NO OTHER OBJECTS of any kind ?
1c) to conclude in simple English :
if i don’t share drug injection equipment that means ONLY reusing hollow needle with syringe attached to inject myself into my vein with other people or have unprotected sex I will never get hiv hepatitis b c stds or other blood borne infections . ?
2)NO Other objects of any kind are risk a risk for blood borne infections , such as gauze ,bandaid, cotton ball etc
e.g if a Friend of mine is infected with hiv ,hepatitis c ,b or stds
He has has cut on his finger he got wet blood on gauze , cotton ball , bandaid or any other object from his bleeding finger and immediately applied these objects (bandaid , gauze etc ) on my wound to stop the bleeding
It’s simple this will not cause hiv hepatitis c b or stds because I did not have SEX or shared hollow needle
With syringe attached to inject myself from my Friend which is the only way we get hiv hepatitis b c stds or other blood borne infections ?
3) since I’m not any risk for any blood borne infection (hepatitis c hiv etc) I don’t need testing from hospital for these viruses resume life as normal .

Welcome back, but I don't understand what isn't clear. Since you do not use injection drugs, knowing the details of HIV risk from drug injection equipment doesn't matter. You can touch, handle, and be in the same room with injection equipment used by HIV infected people, but you will never be at risk for HIV, hepatitis C, or hepatitis B unless you actually use that equipment to inject drugs into yourself. That is all you need to know to avoid all risk of blood borne infections from scum equipment. The details of which specific items are contaminated or not makes no difference.

It is entirely safe to live in the same place with your friend who you believe has HIV, hepatitis, B, hep C, or STDs (or any other blood borne infection). If you never have sex with that person and do not use his equipment to inject drugs into yourself, you will not be infected. You safe can share toilets, kitchens, and even beds with that person, with no risk to you. You can handle is needles, syringes and other injection equipment: if you do not use them to inject drugs, and if you take care not to get stuck with his used needles, you are free of risk. You do not need testing for any of these infection.
I think those comments answer all your questions. Please do not ask the same questions using different words! If you do not clearly understand written English, it is not the forum's responsibility to write in different words or terms: it is the user's responsibility to use translation programs or to obtain help from friends or colleagues who better understand the language. Thanks you for your understanding.

Hi maybe I’m not getting through to you of what I’m saying I will try to simplify this I need you to understand you also did not answer my above question I’ll try keeping this simple
1) drug injection equipment does NOT mean gauze or bandaid or Cotton ball Or any other objects if they are contaminated with wet blood and applied on my wound ?
Hence no risk for hiv hepatitis b ,c stds or other blood borne infections
Assuming my friend is infected with hiv hepatitis b or c or stds or other blood borne infection and he has cut on finger and got wet blood on gauze from his bleeding finger
And then immediately applied gauze on my wound this is not how I will get hiv hepatitis b or c or stds or other blood borne infections.
2) when doctor hunter you say don’t share drug injection equipment or don’t have sex and you will never get hiv hepatitis c or b or stds or blood borne infections?
2a) my Question is what does drug injection equipment mean in point In point 2 above ?
the word drug injection equipment only means HOLLOW needle with syringe attached that you inject into your vein and no other objects of any kind
3) so that’s why I don’t need to worry about gauze ,bandaid or anything else

"1) drug injection equipment does NOT mean gauze or bandaid or Cotton ball Or any other objects if they are contaminated with wet blood and applied on my wound ?

Hence no risk for hiv hepatitis b ,c stds or other blood borne infections". CORRECT
"2) when doctor hunter you say don’t share drug injection equipment or don’t have sex and you will never get hiv hepatitis c or b or stds or blood borne infections?" I DO NOT SEE A QUESTION HERE. NO COMMENT.
"2a) my Question is what does drug injection equipment mean in point In point 2 above ?" SEE MY REPLY ABOVE. IT ONLY MEANS NEEDLES OR SYRINGES USED FOR INJECTION. IT DOES NOT INCLUDE GAUSE, TOURNIQUIETS, OR OTHER ITEMS. EVEN THESE CAN BE SAFELY HANDLED IN ANY WAY YOU WISH, AS LONG AS YOU DON'T STICK YOURSELF WITH A NEEDLE OR USE THEM TO INJECT DRUGS YOURSELF. WHAT IS SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND????
"the word drug injection equipment only means HOLLOW needle with syringe attached that you inject into your vein and no other objects of any kind" IT ALSO MEANS NON-HOLLOW NEEDLES, EXCEPT THAT SUCH THINGS ARE RARELY INCLUDED IN DRUG INJECTION EQUIPMENT
'3) so that’s why I don’t need to worry about gauze ,bandaid or anything else." CORRECT
That concludes this thread. It is the second one in which you have asked exactly the same questions and the answers have been the same every time. You are not permitted to keep returning to the forum with those questions. If you do not understand, you may not ask again; instead ask a friend or use a translation program. Any more threads with these same questions will be deleted without reply and without refund of the posting fee. Thank you for your understanding.
