Accidental prick from an hcv positive patient. should i be worried?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: You should report any occupational exposure to body fluid to your employer and they should be able to assist you through an employee health service program. If this was not during work, then you should contact your physician for direction on what to do next, which likely will include lab testing.
