low risk but fear Jan 11, 2009 I recently delivered a baby. After being home for 4 days, I suddenly got this fear that my doctor had on dirty gloves from a previous patient. My fear is because my babies head crowned suddenly and they had to find my doc. I thought that may be because it happened so fast that he just forgot being in a hurry to change his gloves. Also, I know that it would be highly unlikely that he would leave another patient to help me. I also did not see him with dirty gloves. Should I test? Am I crazy? Do you know of any online forums were people with these same fears talk? |

 Your doctor would not treat you while wearing contaminated gloves. Even if he did, this would not be likely to transmit HIV infection. | |||||||||
