Hep c from snoring coke

Hi everyone. last Sunday a friend give me he's small bag of coke to go and take a line. Then I noticed that in my hands I had some blood and the next day I notes that one of my money hat blood aswell, I call him and he said that he had some blood on he's eyes and touch it with he's fingers. So I think when he touch the bag got blood on the bag then I touched it and when I roll up the note came on the note I don't know if it touch my nose where it was blood. I was the only one use that note because I don't share. Can I be at risk?  Thanks

Not following your question. You can't imagine what?

Does what company (I am assuming a call center) hire Hep b carriers?

You should probably inquire at the company. If you are in the US there is no denying of employment on the basis of Hep b infection.

Where are you located?

Also this is the Hep C forum you could try your question in the Hep b community.

If you are in the  Philippines there is a Hep B  Philippines community they may be able to help with specific employment questions in that country

Snorting drug can be a risk as snorting can cause small blood vessels to break inside the nose. If hep c infected blood enters you blood stream that is how hep c is transferred by blood to blood contact.

If your friend does not have hep c then there is no risk.

Just to be on the safe side and also because you participate in risk factor behaviors you should consider getting an antibody test.

If that is positive then you will need to take the HCV RNA test to determine in you are currently infected.
