A member asked:
What are the chances of getting hepatitis c/ hiv from a water splash in the eye from a washing basin in a public toilet? many thanks
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Zero: I'm sorry you got splashed, but it won't make you sick with either illness. Please remember that most husbands with HIV and/or hepatitis C do not infect their wives even after years of unprotected intercourse. Truth be told, Bonnie, I'm glad you're health-conscious, but life's hard enough without fretting over minimal risks. We all must embrace life and simply life with its unavoidable hazards.
