Hi,

 From my days in public safety..

The aids virus is pretty wimpy and won't be alive on that dental tool 
(or anywhere else outside a host) more than a few hours. The issue with 
the dentist (it's happened before in other places) the doctor (or staff) 
contaminates the tool after it has been removed from it's sterile 
wrapper...and then uses it on a "victim" right away. So the sky isn't 
falling - unless you are that dentist. His sky really is falling.

You aren't going to stab yourself with it anyway, are you?

I have two that I have been using for *decades*.

73,
