A member asked:
Am i at higher risk for hep c and hiv if i get my nipples pierced?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No risk: First having piercings does not increase your susceptibility to these viruses. Second, HIV is not transmitted from inanimate objects. Hep C is a risk if the piercer has not cleaned their equipment.
