Your question has been answered.

You have NO risk.

Seek mental help if you can't seem to get over the obsession with HCV.

Forget about HCV and go enjoy life.

Best of luck

How is Hepatitis C spread?

Hepatitis C is usually spread when blood from a person infected with the Hepatitis C virus enters the body of someone who is not infected. Today, most people become infected with the Hepatitis C virus by sharing needles or other equipment to inject drugs. Before 1992, when widespread screening of the blood supply began in the United States, Hepatitis C was also commonly spread through blood transfusions and organ transplants.

People can become infected with the Hepatitis C virus during such activities as

    Sharing needles, syringes, or other equipment to inject drugs
    Needlestick injuries in health care settings
    Being born to a mother who has Hepatitis C


Less commonly, a person can also get Hepatitis C virus infection through

    Sharing personal care items that may have come in contact with another person’s blood, such as razors or toothbrushes
    Having sexual contact with a person infected with the Hepatitis C virus

"Theres a possibilities that i will get a hepatitis virus if i slept in my friends room"

As long as you were just sleeping and not sharing needles and razors then you are fine.

"My only question if theirs no blood in my shirt there's no possibilities that i got scratch or punctured by sharp thing in his room..."

That is correct...you have to have blood to blood. If HCV could be passed through slumber parties all the kids would be doomed.

Take care
