Am I at risk?

[Panicdude1]

Should I be worried that I have been transmitted with hep C with the acts I did:

1) Rubbing external part of stripper's vagina with fingers
2) Kissing her cheek then kissing my cheek, no mouth to mouth occurence
3) Sucking her nipples

Take note that I didn't have sex in any way, oral, vaginal or anal.

Do I need to be tested??

Please help me, I'm getting anxious and can't sleep properly because of this incident. Thank you!

Hep c is blood borne it requires blood to blood contact. Hep c infected blood must enter your blood stream through an open wet weeping wound.

No risk from the incident you have described.

If this kind of behavior causes you stress and fears I suggest you consider refraining from this type of conduct in the future.

Hi, thanks for replying! I would like to ask 1 more question. Is a 1 hr cut in the finger a risk? I frequently have unexplainable nicks in my fingers. Also, I didn't put my finger inside her vagina, only rubbed the external part.

To be honest, I got tested for HIV twice and got a negative result. This event happened 4+ months ago. I promised to never do what I did, for the past 3 months, I had trouble sleeping and eating. And now, I've read about HBV and HCV, which made my anxiety return, that is why I am asking here.

Your reply to this will be much appreciated!

Was your finger actively bleeding and was she bleeding? Then no

Hep c is not easy to contract. If it were many more than 1% of the US population would be infected.

If you have concerns simple get tested then move on
