A member asked:
Can you get hepatitis c from a stick by a staple?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Hepatitis C is transmitted from person to person by exposure to blood or, less commonly, sexual intercourse - vaginal or rectal. If the staple was not stained with blood or had not pierced someone else’s skin prior to yours, there is no reason to be concerned
