Possibility of Hep A B C after wrestling match with possible hep patient
Was wrestling someone (didn’t know he used many drugs ) not sure if he was a hep patient. Let’s say he was, he scratched me and cut my skin enough to make it bleed I don’t recall him bleeding at all but could there have been dried blood beneath his nail enough to complicate this situation?
This is absolute intolerant behaviour. First you should educate yourself that hbv is never transferred via healthy skin or sweat. Dried blood is of whom the person won't scratch himself and also the viability of hbv lowers significantly outside body. Don't postulate irrelevant hypothesis.
Maybe.... I'm not a Dr though but I would consider this low risk, hepatitis b and C are blood to blood contact and yes they can still transmit in dried blood but depends on persons viral load how infectious they are.... Get vaccinated for hep b then you never have to worry about that..
