Veneral diseases
Hi all, have been requested to have my meds

The doc will tell you what to put, there was a few questions I wasn't sure about and the dov filled them in for me
I'm sure they are used to nurses meds

If you can stop scratching for 20 mins it shouldn;t be so obvious.

Re: Veneral diseases
I have worked in health care, in close proximity to patients for close on 20 years. I just told the panel doc and she didn't seem to care.
The blood tests at the meds include an HIV, VDRL, Hep B&C. Chest x-ray for TB, too. A couple of years ago I was in close contact (doing fundus exam) with a patient who we later discovered had active TB. I had to undergo an immediate test and then routine testing every month for 6 months. Nothing turned up, so all okay. I also had a needle stick about 4 years ago, so underwent HIV testing every 6 months. Again, nothing ever showed up. Try not to worry too much. Like WendyC said, they are used to doing nurses meds.
I know it's easy to say not to worry now that our meds are done but really it's nothing.

I know this might sound entirley dumb - -but do they do base line U+Es and FBC as routine? or is it just the Hep B, C and HIV?
Any answers much appreciated
