Multiple spots of blood found on a sandwich i was consuming. concerned about hiv and other disease exposure. what is the risk or testing required?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Blood spots: This could be from infected gums. How long has it been since your last dental examination and professional cleaning? Recommend 2 appointments. See hour Dentist for evaluation of your oral health. See hour Physician to discuss "HIV and other disease exposure." Be candid with both about your lifestyle, any meds that you take, and any diseases to which you think you may have been exposed.
