HEPATITIS C COMMUNITY
Risk of transmission

Risk of transmission

My wife has hepatitis c and we discussed with her doctor the risk of transmission during intercourse.  He told us not to worry that the risk of transmission was very low.  But, one night when we were through having intercourse we discovered that she had been bleeding vaginally.  I had her blood on my penis from the intercourse.  Then, while I was showering to wash the blood off, I discovered that I had a small abrasion or cut on my penis.  We were not having rough sex or anything out of the normal.  My question is, what is my risk of transmission now that I have been exposed to her blood?  Should I get tested for hepatitis c and how long should I wait before I get tested?  

Thank you,
