A member asked:

Hepc i have this. my friend called and said she got bit by someone who has hep c? what does she need to do

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Get her checked out: Depending upon her additional contacts with the "biter" (that may have exposed her to his/her blood), & his/her hepatitis c viral load, there is a very real possibility (particularly if her skin was broken) that your friend has been exposed to the virus & is potentially infected. She must get checked and treated.
