Hepatitis C transmission question
About 10 years ago I had an episode that I involved a female prostitute that gave me unprotected oral where she scratched my penis and it bleed a little - I tested for Hep B and was negative and had some liver tests since then that were fine......my question is is there any likelihood that I could have contracted Hep C? If there is a likelihood would the transmission chance be very low? Thanks.
If you are concerned get tested.
"is there any likelihood that I could have contracted Hep C?"
At some point in you life possibly but from the incident you described almost ZERO
"If there is a likelihood would the transmission chance be very low?"
YES the transmission chance would be VERY LOW.
Again, if you are worried get tested then you won't have to worry you will know. If by some chance you did test positive see a doctor and get treated.
