A member asked:
Can manicure cause hiv or hep c?time between me and woman before me is less than 5 minutes
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Technically yes: I'v never been a fan of people using a facility for manicures. While there is no documented cases of transmission from a manicure salon in theory if the utensils were not sterilized properly..then yes. They due often cause fungal infections (onychomycosis/dermatophytoses).
