HIV(and how it affect me and a nail technician)?

Are you saying You have HIV, or you have a Client who has HIV, or You are worried about HIV in general, like you serve a Prision Population?





HIV is the virus that Causes AIDS, it is Transmissible by blood, and body fluids.





As a nail technician it is important to sterilize your reusable instruments as carfully as a hospital does.





Follow the instructions on your disinfectant bottles EXACTLY.





If it says to dilute 1:5, don't figure you can ';get away with'; 1:10


If it says for 10 minutes dont try twice as stong for half as long





Just follow the dirrections.





Follow state and federal guidelines about safe practices, don't bend the rules to ';indulge'; a client.





For example, for pedicures, some people request their calluses be shaved away with a razor. This is illegal in many states, but many technicians still do it. You could open a tiny cut in the skin invisible to the eye, and put yourself of the client at risk.





Also clipping cuticles can be risky. A cuticle cream might be better.





Only use disposable items once.





Clean your surfaces throuroughly before each client. A good solution is a 1:10 dilution of household bleach, Spray the area until glistening wet, let it stay wet for 10 minutes then wipe dry.





You may be able to buy a disinfectant that takes less time, but a simple spritz and whipe does not really disinfect an area, Most cleansers need to soak on the surface for at least 2 minutes to kill 99.9% of microbes.





This list is by no means complete. You should be able to contact your state health department for more full regulations on disinfection, and personal protection guidelines.
