A member asked:
Can you get hep c or hiv from using a bar of soap that was in a basin with used razors only option i had after going to the toilet?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: The HIV and hep c viruses are spread by blood to blood contact such as an IV drug abuser sharing a needle with another and by unprotected sexual contact. They cannot be spread by using a dirty bar of soap to wash your hands.
