she cut my finger then started to finish filing the fingers on my right hand and she held it while she was finishing the rest of the fingers. after that it started bleeding so she used some sort of antiseptic liquid to stop it from bleeding. after when all the filing was done on both hands another lady was going to paint my nails and i told her that i got cut.. so then she got a antiseptic swab and cleaned it more.I recently got my nails done and had a slight cut, what are the chances of getting infections or possibly aids?
HIV does not live outside the human body for very long at all. Also, HIV is actually, despite popular belief, not at all easy to catch. Most of the time you have to have direst contact with the infected blood, or, like with sharing needles, be injecting it into your blood stream. The chances of you getting HIV from the way you described are so small that I wouldn't even bother getting tested for it.
I would be much more worried about getting a staph infection. Just be weary if you spike a fever in the next few days.I recently got my nails done and had a slight cut, what are the chances of getting infections or possibly aids?
IF the tools used to cut you were not sterilized properly and they cut a person with an infection or HIV/Aids then it is entirely possible to get it. Did you see the staff putting the tool in a sterile solution or oven? Or did you watch them give someone else a manicure then just wipe off the tools and give another customer a manicure? Wiping does not sterilize. They use special solutions and things to do it up to code!
they replace (or they should) all of those tools every time. if its not a disposable one, then they are soaked in a blue fluid, which kills everything. and even if that is not the things that happened, the chances of you getting HIV is still quite low.
keep the wound clean %26amp; dry. refrain from manicures if you have open wounds in the future -the salon is at more risk of contamination from the bacteria in/on your body. follow up with your doctor if you notice signs of an infection.
I wouldn't worry about it. They cleaned it for you.

Has anyone resulted in fungus infections getting nails ';done';?
i have had my nails ';done'; for about 17 yrs but now have recently noticed discoloration on a couple of them. i removed the acrylic overlay. but now i wonder will my nails ever return to normal ? at the moment i am so done with getting my nails done. i want my regular nails back and i am sure it will take at least 5-6 months to get them back. has anyone else gone through this and did your nails ever return to normal ?Has anyone resulted in fungus infections getting nails ';done';?
We have had a problem with a few of the shops down here not following procedure when doing nails and not disinfecting the tools they use. Many of their customers were getting nail fungus and nail infections. The board of heath shut one of them down. The women that got most of the infections were ones that had holes drilled in the natural nails....

Fungal toenail infection: Have you cured it? What worked? I have had it on two nails for two or three years.?
I aim to get rid of it now.Fungal toenail infection: Have you cured it? What worked? I have had it on two nails for two or three years.?
I'm not sure if this will get rid of it with it being so long there, but you can try it- mix 2 oz grapeseed oil with 2 tablespoons of vinegar and brush it on your toenails with a make up brush or q tip every day.
Otherwise, you may need a medicationFungal toenail infection: Have you cured it? What worked? I have had it on two nails for two or three years.?
Go to a walk-in clinic and they will perscribe you cream that gets rid of fungal infections. Had a fungal rash on my leg and it went away after I used cream the walk-in clinic dr perscribed me.
actually, just using plain white vinegar works, but it takes a long time. Paint it on your toenails (using a Q-tip) twice a day. My mom had horrible toenails her whole life from when she was a kid- chillblains, etc. and finally at about 85 years of age, she discovered this easy cure. The next time I visited, her feet looked absolutely normal- it was like a miracle!
I dont know if you have lamisil where you live, but its a ointment for athletes foot. Rub that onto your toenails twice daily, and it should go away as your toenail grows out. If that doesnt work, you have to go onto a course of tablets that your doctor can prescribe to you. Hope I helped!
PS- dont paint your toenails until it is completely gone.
The dr also told my mom that the lamisil wont work, but she couldnt afford the meds he wanted to give her so she gave it a shot %26amp; it definitely did work!

Nails infections w/ fake nails?
hi
how does bacteria enter the nails or what-not when you have fake nails? how can i prevent this? what happens when bacteria gets in (i mean nothing is cut and no open skin is bare so....?)
and any fake nail is open to this question but mostly gel or acrylicNails infections w/ fake nails?
ok for the person that said ';look at the ppl that work in the shops they dont wear them'; well you're wrong!!! i'm a nail tech and i wear them(that's how i get my clients) now the asian shops no they dont cause 9 outta 10 they are using illegal products and they dont want to submit themselves to it cause they know its wrong but the ppl that go to them have no clue....EDUCATION is key!!!! and that's what i'm trying to do here....its not about points with me!!!!
now for your question: bacteria only grows if there is air under the tip or the acrylic that's the way water seeps in and forms bacteria.... you can also get a fungus from the nail tech if she/he doesnt clean their implements properly, if they cut your cuticles(which by the way is illegal)which will also open you up for bacteria and fungus and sometimes worse!!!! so you want to make sure that the person servicing you is clean and well educated in the field(it shouldnt be all about applying tips they should educate you as well)...i STRONGLY suggest that if you do get your nails done please go to someone who is professional and STAY away from the asian salons--CHEAP IS NOT ALWAYS BEST!!!! especially when it comes to your safety
to the person that said ';dont get them cause they look horrible and fake'; know what you're talking about before you speak... nail enhancements DONT look fake if they are applied correctly by a licensed nail tech(maybe you tried the home version--and thats why you dont like them)but dont knock/discourage anyone from spending their hard earned money on something they want....
anyways i hope this has answered your questionNails infections w/ fake nails?
This can happen because your nail has no air to breath and you can get fungus try washing your hands and nails very frequently and don't always have your fake nails on
after everything yu do..deffinetely wash yur hands and thts pretty much all i can tell yu or hand sanitizer if yur not near a sink
Have you noticed that the people who own the shops don't wear the products? mmmmm
The glue. Prevent it: Don't get fake nails. They're stupid. They look fake and honestly, what's wrong with your nails? You can barely do anything in them anyway..

Do you think that nail salons can contribute to Hep C and HIV infections?
Have you ever been cut in a nail salon from the drill bits or files that they use on everyone? Do you look the other way thinking that the instruments have not been sterilized, or that it seems that they haven't? Shouldn't there be a sign that says, ';WE STERILIZE?';
This is something that has been bothering me since I started getting my nails done and have been cut so many times. I realize that I try to find the best price and it's my own fault. I've just been thinking differently since the endoscopy situation.
www.mydailypickle.comDo you think that nail salons can contribute to Hep C and HIV infections?
Since HCV is a blood-borne virus, it can鈥攁t least in theory鈥攂e transmitted by contaminated personal items, such as razors or nail care equipment. Any equipment used by manicurists, estheticians, barbers and cosmetologists that may come into contact with blood may transmit the virus. This can happen when a small amount of HCV-containing blood鈥攅ven a tiny amount that is too small to see鈥攕tays on the equipment after it is used on one person, and then comes into contact with the bloodstream (through a cut or other open area on the skin) or mucous membranes (such as mouth or nostrils) of another person on whom the same equipment is later used. Personal equipment that is shared between persons and that can come into contact with blood and spread HCV includes tattooing and body piercing needles and other equipment; cuticle scissors, nail files, and emery boards; razors and hair clippers; hair removal tools such as tweezers and electrolysis equipment; and even hair-cutting scissors and combs.
The transmission of hepatitis through personal care procedures has not been well studied. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has not reported documented cases of HCV being transmitted this way. Nevertheless, the agency issued health and safety guideline for personal care professionals in 1985. State laws regarding health and safety standards in personal care settings vary widely. The California Department of Health Services recently released a report about a woman whose only known risk factor for getting hepatitis C was regular visits to a nail salon.

As Stephanie said, (and this is something we, as a support group, recommend to newly diagnosed people) you should take your own nail tools to the salon and have them use only your tools on you, so as not to spread disease.
Hope this answers your question. Best wishes.Do you think that nail salons can contribute to Hep C and HIV infections?
the only way to make sure hcv infection (or others) are minimized is to purchase your own tools and nail polish.
many people get hcv infection from going to salons!
I would never go to a nail salon that wasn't clean - do research - and if I have a cut or scab I will not go. I think you can catch some kind of infection.....I love having my nails done too - but sometimes I hold my breathe and pray.
Yes they can. some dont use proper cleaning tecniques with the tools and such. Make sure you find a salon that clens thier tools and you can ask them if they seem offened then dont use them. try a higher end salon and even a spa.
i never thought of this sitsuation i think its very possible for infecion to spread this way
Manicures that make your fingers bleed are a risk factor for Hepatitis C.
Nail salons clean their instruments with a blue solution that does NOT kill the Hepatitis C virus. And the hepatitis C virus can live on surfaces for many days. Plus, it takes a very small amout of blood to transmit the hep C virus. I takes a much larger amount to transmit the HIV virus.
Buy your own manicure instruments and ask them to use them whenever you get a manicure.

Approx. 10 yrs ago while over seas I had two toe nails removed due to a fungal infection. Now I regret it.?
I am 35 yrs old 10 yrs ago I was living over seas and contacted a fungal infection on two toes and that time the only option that was offered was removal of the nail and nail root. Now I am back in the states I totally regret the decision I made back then I cant wear open toe shoes, I cant polish my nails and my daughters are now at the age where they would like to have me go out with them and purchase pretty sandles I am so ambarrassed to be seen w/o closed toe shoes. I have tried the fake toe nails and they just fall right off. I have even tried to polish the top of the toes to make it look like there's a nail there, but that too is useless it just peels right off within hours. Does any one know of any procedures out there avail to someone in my situation, I would be willing to try anything out there that would take care of my problem once in for all. Serious responses onlyl. I appreciate your time. Thank you.Approx. 10 yrs ago while over seas I had two toe nails removed due to a fungal infection. Now I regret it.?
How do they look? I mean, if you were looking at your feet as if they were on a different person, would you notice them right off? I've seen a lot of people missing nails (and even toes) wearing open toed shoes. You are more conscious of it because they are yours but other people probably won't notice at all, or care if they do.
You could always try getting the spots where the nails would have been tattooed, so it would appear there were nails there. With many people their nail isn't much different in appearance than their toe itself, just with a bit darker tone and edging. Other than that I can't think of anything that you could do, really. I've never heard of anything to replace the actual nail.Approx. 10 yrs ago while over seas I had two toe nails removed due to a fungal infection. Now I regret it.?
I am surprise that your nail haven't grown back. it is suppose to. people take out toe nails for one reason or another because it grows back. I suggest you go see a pediatrist. good luck
You shouldn't be ashamed that you dont have two toesnails. Your daughters should accept that.makeup school

Why do I keep getting infections under my cuticle when I don't have acrylic nails?
The last one that I had, the doctor prescribed Keflex for it.Why do I keep getting infections under my cuticle when I don't have acrylic nails?
Well you can get a nifty little device called a cuticle pusher.
Its easy to use and it doesn't hurt. If that doesn't work you should show them to a doctor.
I hope my letter helps you. %26lt;(*-*)%26gt;
