Today I went to a Dental College for a checkup and the overall environment and instrument handling seemed extremely unhygienic to me.

During my examination, the dentist was quite aggressive while checking my teeth and gums. I have a gum growth that I specifically asked them to examine, and they poked the growth and my gums with dental instruments. Later tonight, when I brushed my teeth, my gum started bleeding.

What concerns me most is how the instruments were being handled. After examining me, the dentist placed the used instrument on the examination counter of the next patient area. From what I observed, instruments seemed to be picked up from counters without any clear separation between used and clean instruments.

After coming home, I found a reviews from 3 people claiming to work at the college. The reviewer alleged that there were serious problems in the sterilization section, including rats, improper hygiene, hepatitis cross-infections, and inspectors being bribed to cover things up.

I'm now terrified that an instrument previously used on another patient may have been used on me without proper sterilization. Since my gums were poked and later bled, I'm specifically scared about HIV, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C transmission.

I know that I don't have proof that the instrument used on me was contaminated, and I don't know whether any previous patient had HIV or hepatitis. But because HIV PEP is time-sensitive, I'm scared of dismissing the possibility and later regretting it.

For doctors or healthcare professionals: does this situation warrant going to an emergency department or ART centre for an HIV PEP assessment? What should I do about possible hepatitis B exposure since I'm unvaccinated?

I'm extremely anxious and would appreciate factual advice about the actual medical risk and what steps I should take now.

Okay..

I'm 28 now..

I graduated from a top university from my city and have always performed well academically..

Well,throughout my life I've been through a lot which I don't really want to list but I've been in deep depression for many many years and even chronic health issues..

I've always been interested in law and after I graduated in 2019 I applied to a very good law college for the 3 year llb programme and got accepted..

But I didn't join...

I know it's 2026 now..

I haven't recovered and my therapist asked me to take small steps..

I've always been very approachable and fight for people that have been wronged and I can't stand injustice..

Because of my health issues I can't go to college and I've heard there are colleges offering the llb programmes where you just have to write the exams that's all..I have to pay the full year fees but don't have to attend physically

I just have to study and write the exams..

I'm really considering this cause my health won't allow me to attend regular classes anymore..

Can I practice in court?

I'm planning to study and work hard..

Please let me know..

I (28F) recently met a prospective arranged marriage match (32M) who's doing his PhD in Vienna. We spoke for over 3 hours at the food court of a mall and the conversation was good. He had read my biodata thoroughly, asked thoughtful questions from what he read and we connected well intellectually.

But the entire interaction felt like I was on a podcast with another guy.Like those bros podcast we see.

We could discuss ideas for hours, but I never felt emotionally seen or cherished as a woman.

It felt like he enjoyed the topics of the conversation more than he was getting to know me (it was general stuff and nothing personal to me or the marriage )

There was no warmth, no subtle romantic energy, no sense that he wanted to make me feel comfortable or cared for.

For example, we sat in a mall food court talking for almost three hours and he never once asked if I'd like something to eat or drink. It wasn't about the money I can pay for it.

It was the absence of that instinct to care.

I left thinking, "He's someone I could have fascinating conversations with," but not like, "This is someone with whom I would feel safe,cared for and loved"

Feel free to share your thoughts!
