Thanks Batbite. I also read your story.

I think everyone who has gotten these shots should as a precaution get tested for the basics, HIV, Hepatitis and possibly a few others.

I know they sterilize the donor material but the fine print on the brochure is of course scary. I did check for HIV months following the injections. I'm in a monogomous relationship for the past 28 years so no concern there but I think with this new pain issue I might test further. Just to be sure. Not to cause alarm to anyone. I reached out to the CDC and the makers of both vaccines and was assured they are cleaned but like everything in life there is no guarantee.
