Patient's question:
During a gynecological examination, the gynecologist opened the disposable speculum and placed it on a dish containing lubricant. While wearing gloves, the doctor accidentally dropped the disposable speculum onto the stainless steel treatment table (the table was relatively clean and dry at the time), but the doctor did not replace it.Doctor's answer:
First, the place where instruments are placed in the hospital treatment room should be a sterile area. Second, this environment is not suitable for the survival of the HIV virus, nor will there be viruses such as syphilis. You don't need to worry.
