HCV from non bleding wound
Dear All ;
Firstly my english not so good, please forgive me. Two weeks ago, at the work, my friend and me went to the hail to take a coffe. While the waiter give the tea she cut the hand and my friend to help her and hold her hand. During this time my friends has got waiter's blood a few drops on his finger. Waiter went to first aid but my friend take a dry tissue and wiped.( no wet, no wash ). We talked about 5 - 10 minutes more and we handshake about 10 seconds because he was going to the annual leave. About a few minutes later ,suddenly remember that he didnt wash his hand, only wiped. I looked my hands but i couldn't see any blood but i have a wound on my finger about 2 cm non bleeding wound. There was not any bleed but i wanted to control again. I pour the cologne on the wound to understand open or not. But the wound hurted due to cologne's alcohol. İ mean there was no blood but the wound is not closed competely. İ washed my hand and i forget that this event. But the routin health report of the business. Everybody gave the blood. And the waiter girl's test was anti hcv positive at yesterday. I go to in shock now and i m thinking worst scenerio. Please let me know that
