Don't worry: If you went to a reputable dentist who uses accepted standards of sterilization, etc. You should be safe. If you doubt that, go to your physician for lab tests and potential treatment.

No need to worry: Provided your dentist was following osha guidelines for infection control, you should have no need for worry. If you want to be double sure go get a blood test to rule out these 2 diseases.
