About 3 weeks ago I got Hepatitis C blood on my hands when trying to fix IV tubing on a patients IV. I immediately washed it off and checked my hands for cuts. I had a scab on one finger and chapped knuckles from repeated washing but did not see any visible bleeding cuts. I went through occupational health and got tested for antibodies which have been negative. I am getting tested again at 6 weeks but my nerves are getting the best of me! Am I at high risk for contracting Hepatitis C?
Hi, Its unlikely that you have an infection if your skin was intact with no wounds and no cut, and you washed your hand immediately, but prevention is better than cure, so I recommend you to get your blood test done and get physicians opinion
