I am the biggest hypo and worry wart on the face of the earth so I ask for u 2 pls answer honestly n seriously...So here it is...I wear braces called invisalign for those of u who don't kno what it is it almost is like a mouth guard except it fits perfectly over your teeth so that they get straightened little by little. Anyway I work in a small place with about 50 other ppl n we work 4 a major hospital in my state. About 1/2 the people I work with are women. About 80% of them are over 30yrs old n married with children. Today I went into the bathroom at work we only have 1 (sad isn't it??) Anyway I was going in there to brush my teeth and put in my braces. so I sat my braces on the small table near the sink but closer to the garbage can. I accidentally dropped 1 of my mouth pieces in the garbage can mainly used 4 throwing paper towels after washing hands but occasionally find other things ewww. I pickd them up quickly n scrubbed them wit my brush n paste n ran it under steam wate

  1. If you washed the braces then it would remove most of the germs, and you cannot get HIV that way.


  2. Indeed you have a serious problem with that hypochondriac nature of yours.The chances to contract i.e. HIV virus are relatively small even during an unprotected sexual intercourse.

  3. No. You're more likely to be struck by lightning.

  4. No you don't have much of a chance of contracting anything...but I still wouldn't have put them in my mouth after that.  I would've waited till I got home and sterilized them with something antibacterial.  Even Polident or soaking them in Listerine would have worked.

  5. no

  6. omg! you will have HIV within 48 hrs and after that 96 hrs left to live! I'm so sorry for your luck!

  7. You work at a major hospital and you are asking a bunch of strangers on Yahoo Answers whether something could cause medical issues?

    And you don't know that you need bodily fluids to transmit AIDS/HIV?
