My daughter used my razor

Hi all,
Long time since I last posted here.
It is about 3 years that I am SVR after 25 years with HCV gen 1b and a full here of a very difficult treatment with Peg and Riba.
Today when I returned home from work I have noticed that my daughter (18 years old) used my razor for her legs.
What is the chance that she will get the virus ? Is there anything I can do ? I admit that I am in a panic now/
Any advice would be helpful.
Thank you,
Jack

"What is the chance that she will get the virus ?"

None, you are SVR and no longer carry the virus, only the antibodies which are not contagious and pose no risk or threat

  If you are nervous, you should get another Hep Quantitative PCR test, JUST to make sure you have remained SVR.  If you are still SVR, then your daughter should be perfectly fine.
   Just remember this:  your Hep C Antibody Screening Test will ALWAYS have a positive result, as you still carry the hep c antibody, but this does not mean that you are still contagious~
