A member asked:
I'm concerned because i got poked with a contaminated dental bur but did not bleed from a hepatis c + patient.?

Needle stick: We recommend that you contact your physician immediately for evaluation, counselling and follow-up testing. Without bleeding, the risk of contacting hep c is minimal but not impossible. Follow up for protection and peace of mind.
