Iv'e been curious about this for a while what do doctor's use to scrub there hands with while scrubbing in is it some type of soap?

Also by law how many minutes do doctor's have to
scrub their hands for?

Thank you! (link)
there are different kinds of cleansers, they ususally have a little bit more mosturizers thats all. Its tru though alot of docs dont wash their hand sits gross and its the first step your suppose to take in infection control!! As a dental assistant I was my hands prob 20 times a day if not more .. There is no law about hand washing they do teach every medical proffesional about standard precautions which means your suppose to treat everone as if there were infected!


Okay, im 18/f and I have a boyfriend thats 17/m. We've been together for almost four months, and he has broke up with me once for mixed emotions; three days later we got back together.

For the past two nights I have been having nightmares. Literally. I wake up tossing and turning, and sometimes even balling my eyes out. They are always about Riley (my boyfriend) cheating on me with his ex; but last night, i had one where he was on my bed, with my bestfriend, and she was but naked and they were making out; than I broke up with him; and he seemed not to care. I woke up balling my eyes out again. These dreams feel so real, and the leave me with an icky feeling inside all day. Everytime I wake up, I hope the dream will just stop, but when i go back to bed, the dream starts where it stopped, and I can't sleep at all.

I don't know why I'm having these dreams. I know my boyfriend would never cheat on me. My mom hates seeing me like this, and she thinks its my concious telling me he is; but she really doesn't think he would either. Please help me. I'm tired of crying :/ (link)
Your dreams are your thoughts subconciuosly
In your mind deep in there you got a feeling and thats why these dreams are coming out!
If you really belive hes not cheating then remind your self always about the good things tin the relationship! Think about good things get the bad things out. Theres spanish remedies dont know if you belive but you could go to a botanica and they can give u something to put next to your bed ...
I was having the same prob with my daughters father. They said it was because other girls were hating me and thats what happens with jealousy...


can you get pregnent if you get fingered and your boyfriend has sperm on his finger??? (link)
Not likely yes but possible..


So, my period ended last weekend. I'm sexually active with my boyfriend, and we noticed that even after a few days off my period, there was still some on the condom we used. I thought it was no big deal, you know, the organ will cleanse itself out when it does.

I also have a slight UTI from I believe the latex of the condom -- it's not a big deal or anything, I've dealt with UTIs before but I'm not sure if this has to do with some ... clots of blood, I think is the right way to describe, in my underwear. They're small and brownish & has happened a couple times this week. I've never had this before, should I be concerned?

16/f (link)
you could have a bacterial infection...
you would need to get a papsmear to find out,
when u have this kind of infection it resembles the "ending" of your period. Sometimes it can have a slight odor.

And as far as the UTI'S Drink alot of water and cranberry juice.. try cranberry pills,
Also very important to try to urinate before and after sex and make sure your partner and you are very clean down there..


How can I tell when a guy really likes me? (link)
Basicslly if he likes you hell be into you.. Hell call you, go out of his way for you, show interest, youll know believe me!!


18/f. My boyfriend and I are starting to think about sex. We have been dating 7 months and are in love. This is a question about preventing pregnancies, so please don't lecture me on "saving my virginity" because I already had sex once and it's what I want. I do realize the consequences. Getting pregnant and STI's. But my boyfriend and I have agreed that we are going to be safe and careful.

Here's my question

Ive never had birth control before. The first time we had sex we used a spermicidal condom and a few days after that I saw an article about teen pregnancies in a magazine and in a tv show. I started to freak out and get really scared but he didn't cum in me and also he wasn't deep. Only like 2 inches. Do you think its possible for me to get pregnant if he did that?

Anyways, after my freak out we had a talk and decided I should get birth control. But heres the catch, my parents can't find out. And also I have no idea where to get any. Do I have to take exams in order to get some birth control?

Last question. Do you think it's safe to have sex without the pill? Like if we used a spermicidal condom and Super careful. We know the proper way to use it and how to check for leaks and tears. Like do you think if I didn't get the pill, would the condom still prevent 98% of pregnancies?

Also my boyfriend mentioned the morning after pill (plan b I think?) how effective is that? If I didn't get the pill and just used condom and then morning after pill if there was a leak, would that be ok?

1 more question- could I get pregnant if we used a condom but the condom doesn't break, is there a chance of pregnancy?

Oh and I prefer not to use any other female protection method. I don't want to use a cup or anything.

Amy more advice or tips? Thanks!! (link)
Ok your 18
you could get on the pill, or shot by yourself at your doctors office they cant by law tell your mom because your 18!!
the pill is easily forgotten thats why for awhile i was on the shot however now i have the IUD because i had a child already..

Condoms do work if used properly, if there was a leak u could go and get the morning after pill(it works!) at the pharmacy without any script... in an emergency situation but you cant take alot of those pills..

If you want to make sure you dont get pregnant birth control is the better option!
as long as the condom doesnt break and the penis is never inside without a condom theres really no way to get pregnant..
you can get pregnant off of pre cum so be careful!!


my name is Rachel and my ex boyfriend's name is kenny he just broke up with me this past weekend and at first it didn't bother me at all and then later on I became depressed. I go to a mental health center 5 days a week and he goes there to and I have to look at his face every day and it makes me more upset and ever since he broke up with me i've been drinking untill I get drunk every day and smoking weed until I get high.
He broke up with me becouse he thought I was cheating on him when I kept telling him I wasn't and I don't know why he would think that I would cheat on him when i've never cheated on him in the whole year we was dating. please tell me How I can get over him? (link)
Meet someone else a rebound.. Not a relationship just someone to keep your mind off!! Trust me it works!!You need to be occupied and before you know it the pain starts to fade trust me.. be free, he was using that your cheating crap as an excuse because he was prob the one cheating or maybe he just wasnt that into you.. Guys suck girlfriend..
There are a few good ones, find that rebound!!!


background information: i am 17 i have a job and a busy life. I love animals. I am a slob. I spend one third of my life grounded for dumb stuff such as a messy room, eating the last bit of cereal, leaving my shoes out, or taking my stepmothers shampoo.( mind you i am 17 years old )
today my stepmother decided to go in my room and take my charger. When she did my room was messy. Now the first friday ive had off in months im grounded. Also the sick cat that ive been taking care of and have paid 400 dollars in vet bills i have to give away. Last one more screw up and im grounded for the whole summer and not allowed to go on my mission trip or trip to chicago that ive paid for and i have to quit my job. (link)

Worry about finishing school sweetheart not turning on some lil boy!!

You have to feel sexy to be sexy...
Be naked when he gets home from work..
Give him oral spontaneously....
Be sexy all the time, walk sexy, flirt with him.. give him sexy looks call him in the middle of the day and let him know what hes in for when he gets there...


I had sex 2 times the same night, we always use a condom and withdrawal, also the first time i used spermicide, but not the second time (about 2hours later). The thing is the condom broke just before he came and get out, and the tip of the condom was inside me (i was able to get it out). I'm wondering about pregnancy chances, i've just finished my period 1 day earlier and it started 1 week ago, my month is about 26-28 days. My dr is away, but she told me to stay away from the morning after pill because i took it like 4 months ago and i'm waiting my body to stabilize so i can get implanon without affecting my body.

Thank you so much, i'm very worry because i dont wanna mess with my body an my dr is not around. (link)
I would of went with the morn after pill of course sweetie listen you never know, now when u tell them what happen your going to have to take a pregnancy test anyway before starting implanon


15 f

Were having issues in my family, my grandmother who I love dearly, is in a nursing home she's very old but she's still living, near death I believe though. :/ My fathers family, are very greedy and they bought her house and they have helped her with her nursing home payments but I'm worrying terribly because in 8 months if shes still living, my mother and fathers moeny for her to stay will run out, and my uncle will have to sell our house or by our house. We will have to move, and I truly don't want to I have been living here ever since I was born and I don't want to leave :/ We live in the country and my father and his father built our house, which use to be where my gma lived when she was young, and my grandfather who passed told my dad to always take care of my gma, and my father has..my fathers done everything for her, when my uncle is greedy and truly doesn't care about his mother..and I just don't know what to do..or how to stop worrying about this, I don't wish for my grandmother to pass, but I don't want to leave when my dad loves where we live. (link)
This is tough sweetie why dont you guys look for other options what state and city do you live in they have state aided facilities in some areas check out options of changing her location. My grandmother was in a state aided place because I didnt have the money to pay for it. I feel so sry for u sweetie. I know it might of not been alot of help but I just had to answer.. Good Luck !!

I started tanning about a week and a half ago. I am fair skinned and started at 5 min. in the weakest bed they have. i went everyday 5,5,5,6,6,6,7 minutes not seeing very much color a little pinkish tinge allover. on the day i went for 7 minutes about 4 hours later i broke out in hives on my stomache and back and front inner thighs i stopped going due to the intense itching as well it has been 3 days and all day i itch and everynight i get hives. did i catch something. is this normal? did i OD on vitamin d? (link)
It could of been that the bed was dirty honey. I would have the doctor take a look? Did you use a different lotion?? Maybe u could of had a reaction to someone elses lotion that used the bed before you and they didnt clean it well!! I would go have your doc take a look


As my subject says, I have the ex boyfriend blues.

He broke up with me five days ago when I was away at a friends 1,000 miles away from him. He called and broke it off, claiming it wont work out. He told me it was because of my friendships with other boys and such and he can't handle it. Later is also claimed that it was my devotion that drove him nuts as well.

I'm a very devoted person, I'll give them my all, and do as much as I can to make them happy. I was loyal and loving, and always knew when something was up. He would get aggrivated with me when I was sad, and made me feel abnormal and useless. He felt like my depression was just for attention, for he has never felt depressed in his entire life. I felt so alone all those months.. I was and am so used to spreading my life around him and trying to make him happy that I no longer know how to live for myself. I'm not so much afraid of being alone though. But now I don't even want to think about the word 'love' anymore. I just want to use my body and sleep around with no strings attached.

I need advice, guys. I'm so numb that I'm not even sure who I am anymore. (link)
I am kinda in the same boat only i left mine bcause he was an ass.. dont use your body youll only feel like whore and ppl will look at you that way. Screw him sweetie really think about it as his loss. Your free to do what you want go hang with your friends which you prob havent seen for awhile since you been so hrad trying to please him, at first nothing is the same anymore. You need a rebound girl thats all for now someone to talk to when your lonely, stuff like that maybe a booty call friend with benefits but only one same person. Time heals all wounds. Dont strees about your past there is a reason why its not your future!!


I have two really good friends. I'll call one Jen and one Lydia.

Jen is nice sometimes but other times (I hate to call her this) she's a real b****. Lydia is nice all the time, for the most part.

Well because of Jen (usually) they fight a lot. Recently they have been arguing because on V-Day Jen said to us 'I love you, no homo.' I understand that she doesn't want to seem lesbian. Lydia doesn't. She says that we know we're straight and it's ok without the no homo.

I don't want to take sides. I agree with Lydia that we're close enough to just say it, but I also think it's ok to clarify the no homo. Also, Lydia has a gay brother. (we all accept this.)

I hate when they fight and I want to help them resolve their conflict. Currently they are ignoring each other. What should I do? Thank you

Also we're all girls, Jen and I are in 9th grade and Lydia is in 10th. (link)
The only way to solve it is to tell jen to just dont bother with the comments., Thats an old comment anyway let it go. FRIENDS dont find over dumb stuff. Either tell her not to say it or dont hang out anymore. But jen needs to stop saying it and Lydia needs to lighten up a lil just because her bro is gay doesnt mean the world doesnt stop jking!!! But everyone is different so if you guys like to hang with her jen should stop saying bs like that


I met this girl while playing a game. All I can say it's that she is the sexiest woman I know, and that would be a fact. I enjoy talking to her a lot, and even since the moment I 'met' her my life is not the same. Is it love? (link)
its Lust honey, Attraction.. Love comes with time. Its possible in the future, but get to know her a lil more before you think about love belive me she might do things you dont like, be a weirdo you know... Lust Lust


My boyfriend and I were supposed to hang out tonight, but he decided to go out with his friends instead. This is not the first time that hes decided his friends are more important than I am, nor will it be the last.

I called him after he told me we wouldn't be hanging out, and told him that I felt like i wasn't as important as his friends. He proceeded to tell me that he didn't want to deal with it right now and that he would talk to me later and hung up.

What did i do wrong?? There have been times where hes told me hes coming to pick me up and then decided he was to tired and i've walked the hour home from work at midnight. I just am so upset right now i feel like i put all the effort in the relationship and as soon as i get my hopes up about something, he changes plans and i'm just not in the picture anymore.

I'm afraid to approach him because i don't want him to blow up and just call our relationship off. But i'm afraid to leave it alone because i know its bad for me to be stewing about it and not letting it out.

What should i do?

Im 20 hes 28. We've been together for a year and a half. (link)
Let it go before its too late, I mean only u know how much time you spend together. Its ok for him to be with friends but come on now, your into him and u wanna spend time so why wouldnt he. hes prob not that into you anymore. Not trying to hurt your feelings babe but thats the way it is sometimes they are to scared to tell instead they will just blow you off so keep your head up and find a new one your 20 hes 28 believe me there are som many guys in this world.. dont dwell on him if he doesnt want to fine you cant force it, screw him.


here's what happened..
yesterday i didn't go to school cause i was sick, but was feeling better. since i was i decided to hang out with this guys i've been talking to from my work. my mom called me around 9 30 and i couldn't tell her who was with cause he's 24. and i'm 17 so i couldn't say. so finally i did call her back after a million calls and said i'm with my friend livy. she got even more pissed but i said i was on my way home. when he dropped me off my mom was waiting outside for me. so i had him drive around the block to go to the front of the house so she wouldn't see. but when i got out she ran to the front of the house screaming saying that wasn't livy that it was a boy, i made up something saying it was her brother dropping me off. well then she held me by the hair and then dragged me to the back of the house not letting of it. then brought me into the house pinned me against the wall and started hitting me more. she told me to give her my phone, i said no. she hit more and i called her psycho so she went WAY more crazy. i said i'm going to my dads i don't wanna be here. she said if i did then she'd call the cops. i said if she did then i'd tell the cops what she just did. she said fine get out go live with your father. so i grabbed a few items then left. then she disconnected my phone. i stayed at my dads, i went to school, cheerleading, then went out with my one friend to the mall. the night went great until i realized i needed my uniform for tomorrow which was at my moms. so my dad had me go up there and stay the night. i tried saying sorry and all she did was still yell and say she wasn't putting my phone back on. and that if im staying then im grounded for a LONG time. i just walked up stairs. i called my brother saying i wanted to go back to my dads he said to just stay here to the weekend but its living hell.

but my question is..
should i live with my mom or dad?
my mom does pay for everything.. my dance and cheerleading and phone. and my dad can't cause he doesn't have a lot of money. and i love those things. but i cannot stand my mom anymore. plus its hard to live with my dad cause of memories from my childhood cause he used to physically abuse us. but there i can at least text and call people if i need to.. at my moms now i can't.
so please help. :\ (link)
From a mom.... She cares about you and you are still only 17.. I mean are you keeping up with school work'? She doesnt want you to make some of the mistakes she has prob made thats all she loves you and your still her lil girl. No matter how old you are. Maybe you should try to be more honest with her to I know she must hate it when she finds out your lying to her....try to sit down and talk to her convince heryou are responsible and not immature! Talking is good and being honest is great!!!
