A member asked:
I got hepatitis c blood on my hand from my husband. i washed my hand with soap and water before touching my cut on my leg, will i get hepatitis c?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most likely not: Hepatitis c is transmitted from blood to blood. If you washed off the blood before touching your wound, there should not have been any transmission. If you are still concerned you can have a test performed. Remember to keep your wound clean dry and covered
