I used my toothbrush to brush my teeth with sensodine. But when I put the paste on it I saw something reddish on it. I didn't think too much and brushed my teeth. But then I thought that what if someone else used my brush and it was blood. I am worried because I hve bleeding gums and a deep cut near my wisdom teeth. So can this cause hiv or hep?
