enviornmental surfaces to me

[worriedaboutthis504]

I was snorting drugs with people that probably have hep c. by having them  sit at me house and if they left one of their snorting tools around my house, could the virus go from the snorting tools them to me or from enviornmental surfaces to me because i have been picking and blowing my nose a lot after they were here and i have blew out blood in my nose and picked out blood, my nose is raw. So basically from enviornmental surfaces to my blood. I am so scared. Also, when should i test?

Actually snorting coke and sharing mirrors and straws is a fine way to get hep c or even HIV...think about it...the virus is so small you can only see it with an electron microscope and it lives for days on surfaces...bloody noses and snorting coke go hand in hand and if your sharing the equipment...you can get it.

id say go get checked out.

"Or maybe just keep your fingers out of your nose"

Good advice.  Let's expand that to your fingers and everything else.

It's how I got it most likely in the 80s from straws or bills.

But I think you have a better chance of winning the Super Lotto.  Don't touch things then put your finger into your nose.........that seems to be a good lesson here. Or maybe just keep your fingers out of your nose - that is better even.

One of the ways of HCV transmission is sharing coke straws,bills, crack pipes. At first this was not thought of as a means of transmission but now has become a very probable way. I'm not going to tell you to stop doing drugs, that has to be your decision but if you do use your own straws, etc.
Good luck

From what ou describe you cannot get Hep C.  However, you CAN get Hep C from sharing snorting straws, especially if people's noses are bleeding. Don't share straws!  If you did, get tested. If you didn't, you're fine.

"snorting drugs with people that probably have hep c."
