at risk ?
Would it be possible to contract Hep C from sharing cigarettes with people while having a cold sore, did not check for blood on it, would a lot of blood be needed ? I took at test at about 4 months.
Thanks so much

I think you'll be fine assuming your test was negative at 4 months. I sound like a broken record but in order for hepc to be transmitted blood from an infected person MUST enter the bloodstream of another person. Just because you have a cold sore doesn't mean this will happen even if the blood makes contact with the sore.
