Friendly Neighborhood

There is a possibility to transmit hepatitis if the nurse is mad on you? Yesterday I am  shocked that the neighbor of mine is working in one of Dispensaries here in our town and i didn't check if my neighbor nurse take a new syringe to  draw a blood for my cholesterol test.. My wife and my neighbor had a girl bad talk last month and i think they already solve the problem.Who knows the nurse already accepted the apology of my wife? And last night also i waited for her until 11:00 pm to ask her and talk to her regarding my fear..She gave me assurance she used a new syringe for me. Who knows my neighbor is telling the truth? only God Knows only..We are here in Qatar. The rules and regulations here is different than western country. The rules here is very strong if she use same needle intentionally she will  be jailed.

There is any advice regarding my fears?

I think you are worrying for no good reason, but if you can't control your worries then go to a doctor and ask for an HCV PCR test. This test costs more than the basic HCV antibody test, but it is accurate within two weeks of possible exposure, while the antibody test requires waiting 3 months before testing. In the future try to stick to using medical personnel who you trust. If you don't trust any of them, then you should definitely seek counseling for anxiety disorder or OC disorder.
