OK I received a letter from the St.Louis VA saying " I may have been exposed to Hepatitis B,Hep C & HIV
Letter said to come in & get a blood test if one wants & "Don't worry" as its no big deal problem as someone wasn't cleaning Dental Tools correcttly & you may have been exposed to these diseases
I was at the VA Hospital today & my Daughter called me & told me about the certified letter I had received & what it said
I had a blood test & they said they would have the results in about 2 weeks
Everyone very reassuring that its very unlikely anyone has anything so stay calm
Find article about this below Not sure what is going on but sounds rather serious to me....Was told I could file a claim or a tort claim on this but guess that depends on the blood tests
Also, we're to be retested in 6 months
Does anyone know if it's possible this stuff won't show up in a blood test & one still has it?.....GARY
