I was bitten by a monkey in the philippines, do i have hepatitis c?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unknown: You assume that all monkeys in the Philippines are carriers of Hep C, and that one bite transferred the virus to you. If you are that concerned, please see your physician who can examine you and advise you, and can also order tests to see if you are infected.
