See the doctor and ask for medications for OCD they will benefit you more than a hep test.

He says only that she had it - not that she wore it. My guess is that she was carrying around a bloody mary in it - with a lemon wedge jammed down into the resevior end and the celery stalk sicking out through the salted cling-tight band. Hopefully not a minty flavored one - that wouldn;t go well at all.

We can't have too many menstruation threads in my book. Just keep 'em flowing.

  Yes ...many people here are well informed,,and no less than a dozen of these good folks have given their time to you ,,some numerous times telling you that your situation.posed no risk,however if you were concerned then contact your doctor and get tested.

You also have been asking the same questions over and over on  the HIV forum,the Herpes forum and numerous times on the STD forum, so many times on that forum that a doctor there told you to stop asking the same questions so many times.

There are many people here dealing with a serious illness that have given you much of their time and advice,and as the good doctor told you on the other forum there is nothing more for you to gain by continuously asking the same questions .

In the end, that might be the most wise advice you can give.

If you can't trust a doctor you shouldn't trust a group of us on the internet.  Get tested since you are still so worried and then you will know there is no way any of us can know for sure, most magic 8 balls dont work via the internet.

Although the magic 8 ball might in fact be what lead me here after all.

If you get the Pcr test, make sure it is the qualitative test NOT quantitative.  qualitative is more sensitive than quanti.  

fyi

The hcv rna by pcr test is very accurate.  But your chances of contracting the disease in the situation you described is very close to zero.  Get tested if you're worried.

Maybe the virus can swim through the blood like fish going up river?

I understand your point.  That may be why some doctors swear that Hep C is transfered panetarally meaning direct injection into the bloodstream.  Another thing is does the blood that bled out go back into the bloodstream ?
