A member asked:

I had a transvaginal uzt and the dr didn't use any condom with the probe. could i catch hpv virus from the previous patient? i am worried now.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Contact that office: If the office was following infection control standard precautions, it is highly unlikely the Doctor used a naked probe for the procedure. Prior to the examination, the vaginal probe is sheathed with a condom non reservoir type. The outside is wetted with ultrasound gel. The condom probe tips range in size.
