A member asked:
Is negative hcv antibody test conclusive after 90 days. recently i saw a needle in my neighbourhood i picked it it up by its shaft or the plastic bit which was dry and then accidentaly rubbed my eyes is there an hiv or hcv risk here?

There is no risk of acquiring HCV or HIV from what you described. HCV test at 90 days after exposure it not sufficient to exclude infection. Get hepatitis B and HPV vaccines. Wish you good health!
