Good stuff Hector :)

Chances of him having HCV. (.01%) Only 1 in 100 in Saudis has HCV.
Chances of him having blood in spit. (.003)
Chance of his spit getting into a vein in your eye. (.0013)

Adding all the odds.
Results = ~ 0 ZERO
I probably have a greater chance of getting buried in a sand storm then getting hep.

Advice.
Stay out of the sun during the middle of the day. Remain cool at all times. Maybe take an anger management class.

Peace.

I dunno maybe this person should get tested???

It does seem that there is a lot of spitting going on in this world.

Makes you want to spit doesn't it?

What if doesn't constitute becoming infected with hepc.  Hepc is transmitted by blood to blood contact.  The infected blood must enter the bloodstream to infect another.

You were not at risk of contracting hepc.

First off, he would have to be infected before he could infect you. If he did have blood in his spit your chances would be very little of catching HCV. I think there is more chance of an asteroid falling on your head than of you catching HCV in this manner.
