A member asked:
Can hepatitis c live in urine or would urine kill the virus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes..unknown: Data show it can be found in urine but length of survival is not clear. It is so dilute that it is not a risk for spreading the disease since to do so it must enter the blood. The virus can survive up to 3 wks on some inanimate surfaces where a blood spot might be found.
