Hello,
Today  i found a old friend who offered me cocaine and i make the Mistake after 4 years to take it and make 2 lines... He exit the toilet and he gave me the cocaine in a plastic tiny bag, i entered after him in the same toilet, i use my Own Bank Note that i took from an atm machine 3 days before(i checked and it was no blood on the banknote) . I didn't share the banknote with him , i clean good the area that i put the cocaine in order to snored but Am worried if any various was possibly pasted from his hands to the tiny plastic bag of the cocaine or  to the cocaine its self can be in anyway infected?. Please tell me if i am in risk even if i didn't share the banknote with him? can the virus be on the bank note more that 3 days and get infected? Sry for the too many questions.....

The risk from snorting drugs come from the sharing of snorting tools. Using drugs by nose can damage the lining of the nose making bleeding more likely. So the first user takes their dose in their nose and could potentially have blood on the straw bill or what have you. Then the second user places this tool in their nose which could possibly cause the blood on the tool to pass through the damaged nasal lining I to their blood stream. But even with sharing snorting tools the risk is not very high.

You did not share snorting tools you are not at risk.

I believe you said on a different hep c forum you asked your doctor and were advised you were at no risk from this situation.

Best of luck to you and good health

Am sorry just wanted to get more information. I have one question. Do Hep B and HIV can be Transmitted by sharing Snorting tools of cocaine?
If it involved blood to blood contact as they are also blood borne viruses. However you did not experience blood to blood contact.

If you have questions about hep b or hiv you should ask in those communities.

Or you could consider discussing your concerns in the anxiety community here is a link
