How c risk
Hello, I wanted to ask for some advice about transmission. I was with someone who could be hep c positive and he squashed a mosquito which had his blood in it on his arm then a few minutes later game me a hug. I did not have any open cuts that I knew. I am not sure if any blood got on me because it was dark out. Is there a risk at all? I do have ocd but I really can’t get this out of head and don’t know who to talk to
Hepatitis c blood must enter your blood stream.
