HIV, BODY PIERCING & TATTOOING


I do get questions regarding HIV TRANSMISSION through BODY PIERCING & TATTOOING.

IS THAT REALLY POSSIBLE?

There wasn’t any documented/recorded case in the Philippines of a Person Living with HIV (PLHIV) who claims that he/she got it from a BODY PIERCE or TATTOO.

A risk of HIV transmission does exist if instruments contaminated with blood are either not sterilized or disinfected or are used inappropriately between clients. It is ideally recommended that single-use instruments intended to penetrate the skin be used only once, then disposed of.  Reusable instruments or devices that penetrate the skin and/or contact a client's blood should be thoroughly cleaned and sterilized between clients. 

Personal service workers who do tattooing or body piercing should be educated about how HIV is transmitted and take precautions to prevent transmission of HIV and other blood-borne infections in their settings.
If you are considering getting a tattoo or having your body pierced, ask staff at the establishment what procedures they use to prevent the spread of HIV and other blood-borne infections, such as the hepatitis B virus.


Contaminated Blood does pose a HIGH RISK for HIV transmission but also consider the PRINCIPLES OF HIV TRANSMISSION:


EXIT – the virus gets out of the body either through an open wound, cuts, or sores.

SUFFICIENT AMOUNT – there should be a sufficient amount of the virus in order to cause an infection.

SURVIVE – the virus should survive. (The HUMAN BODY is a best place for VIRUS to thrive.

* HIV is very fragile once it is exposed to the outside environment it easily dies. Sunlight, Hot/Cold Temperatures, Acidic Environment KILLS THE VIRUS.

ENTRY – there should be an entry point for the VIRUS to go inside the body. It could be an open wound, cut or sores.

ALL 4 PRINCIPLES SHOULD BE PRESENT FOR TRANSMISSION TO BE SUCCESSFUL.

  2. This page talks about several effective ways through which you can get rid of skin tags.
    I would also like to dismiss the earlier notion
    that developing of genital skin tags should not be misunderstood towards developing any sexually transmitted diseases.
    This method typically involves some pain or discomfort.

  3. Perineoplasty (or Perineorrhaphy) has an objective of
    making this area look normal by cutting out excess skin and flaccid skin tags.
    Once you do, you will know which type of remover to buy that will not irritate your skin.
    The brown-slatted background in the image above really isn't part of the technique I was trying to demonstrate here.

  4. body piercing jewellery: Nipple piercing jewelry has been very popular since ancient period and even in recent times people indulge because it is popular for enhancing sensual stimulations. Nose piercing jewelry is very popular too and star celebrities like Lenny Kravitz and Madonna sport their nose piercing. Naval piercing is also referred to as belly piercing and youngsters find it very seductive.

  5. Since body piercing and tattooing became a trend in the society, more and more shops are starting to open too. However, before choosing one, make sure that the staffs are professional for this service and the materials that they are using are clean and high quality.

  6. I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
    liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
    reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
    became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
    ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
    treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
    the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
    treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
