Hepatitus Exposure? please help
i may have had an exposure about two or three years ago a couple years ago i went to the movie theater. i bought my ticket and went to go get a sprite at the snack bar. so i got my sprite and i noticed there was a quarter sized looking red liquidy thing. i thought nothing much of it at the time and i pushed it into my drink with my straw (no clue why i did that). the liquid was like a little thicker than what seemed to be any other kind of drink so i feared that that was blood. i drank the soda and went to see the movie and then i had popcorn which could have given me chapped lips for anything to come inside me (cracked lips i read can be transmission possible). i have been worrying like every day because i have gone over the situation and it seems impossible that a different drink got on my lid because when the worker put the lid on it could have not been under the soda machine and she could have been bleeding and not know it. i do not know her hepatitus- status and i dont know what to do. Im only 16 and i dont want to get something just beacuse of someone being careless. if someone could try to explain what it was on my lid and tell me what i should do that would be greatly appreciated because this was obviously a risk because if the blood goes into my mouth and i had a cut (could that happen?) i no i have anxiety issues but i need to know what i should do. sorry about this. thank you
Bart, get tested for the whole lot.....
I think you worry too much about catching diseases, reading from all your other posts. I think that the most important for you is to try to work on eliminating that constant fear.
Good luck, Marcia

transmission like blood to blood like say i had a cut on my lip (not recent) or they were chapped, or like i recently got a cut
transmission only happens with blood to blood contact. just get checked if you really want to know
