Hep c from phlebotomist glove?
A year and a half ago, I got blood taken. She first put a cotton ball on the site after drawing the blood and then disposed of the needle and touched other surfaces in the area. She then took a piece of gauze and folded it with one hand, touching the surface of the gauze where it touched the point where my blood was taken. I was still bleeding a little. Is this a risk of Hep C transmission after touching the sharps container to discard the needle? There was no visible blood.
Hello, Can-do-man has given you good advice. In addition to the OCD forum there is an anxiety forum and I believe a phobia forum.
Here is the anxiety forum's address. I hope it helps you

I take it this was before the toilet paper scare? The one forum you need to go to you have not.
