flag NSW Health urges patients of a closed Sydney dentist to test for HIV and hepatitis due to contaminated equipment.

flag NSW Health is urging current and former patients of dentist Safuan Hasic at a Mortdale practice to get tested for HIV, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C due to infection control failures involving contaminated dental equipment. flag The Dental Council of NSW has suspended Hasic’s registration, and the clinic at 70 Victoria Avenue has been closed. flag Although the risk of transmission is low, health officials stress that these viruses can remain undetected for years, and early testing is critical. flag Effective treatments are available, and patients are advised to consult their GP for testing, even if previously tested. flag NSW Health is contacting identified patients but urges others who visited the clinic to seek testing as a precaution.
