Is there risk of contracting hep c by accidentally using same bath towel ?should i be tested?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I'll bet zero: Husbands and wives seldom infect one another even when having regular unprotected intercourse. I'm not worried about sharing bath towels. Sorry you got a scare. If this is someone you really care about, i'm glad for both of you. Good luck.
