Am i at risk after possible contact

[Sliver2015]

Hello everyone

I just wanted to post my story and hopefully i will have help from you

On 15/10/2016 i went to the hospital to visit my grandmother who has HCV for long time
. When i want to her her room to shake her hand I stopped on cotton which had blood on it that cotton the nurse use it to stop the bleeding after taking the blood samples. Later i went to my car and while i am driving home my phone dropped under my feet so I take 3 minutes to find park my car and took it . So the phone touched my shoes and the the roof of my car where i put my shose on to drive and parked. Later I remember I stopped on the cotton which has my grandmother blood then 2 hours my phone went down of my car and i stopped on it because I couldn't take it immediately. So after that i put my phone in my room And not touched it for 3 weeks because i was afraid of HCV . So please could you answer my this question

1- after 3 week now its 25 days exactly can I use my phone without any risk of HCV!?
2- if I use it now do you believes thre HCV will still active after 3 weeks (25 day ) !?

Thank you

Yes use your phone even if there was hep c blood in miniscule amounts it would have to enter your blood stream.

If it would ease your mind you could make a weak bleach solution and wipe down your phone but seriously that really isn't needed you could lick your phone clean and not  be at risk.

Thank you for your reply.. but if my shose touched the blood then my phone dropped and I touched it with the same shose .. so the phone will be contaminated  .!?

This why i left my phone for 3 weeks .

Is it safe to use my phone now sfter 25 days .!?
Will the virus be die after this time !?

Thanks
