A member asked:
How long would the hepatitis c virus survive outside exposed to sunlight? i accidentally touched an area where i know someone had bled, i did not see any stains and i dont know this person to be infected but still very concerned?

Hep C virus can survive outside the body for hours &hours. It essentially has to enter your blood stream in order to infect you. I don't think you have anything to worry about.
