sex exposure
the female was bleeding but had a condom. I want to kno if i was at risk for contracting hcv? how accurate is a hcv rna by pcr test?
I was reading that a hcv rna pcr test is tested after someone test positive for hcv. Is the pcr test fda approve? How accurate is the test?
For one thing she would have to of had Hep C. Her blood would of had to get into you bloodstream. Key is get into bloodstream, not touch you but get into bloodstream.
The PCR test is highly accurate. As far as FDA approval, I have no idea. You don't have to question the validity of the test. The process is used every where in the world, every day.

Would it be worth it to take the hcv rna pcr test? Thanks for the feedback.
I can't say for sure. If you think no blood could have possibly gotten into your bloodstream then no. But if you had any open wounds in the area it's possible. The urethra is not an open wound.
yw for the feedback no worries.
