A member asked:
Is there high or low risk that i get hepatitis b c without sex and needle/tattoo, for example: open wound contacts with dried blood, dried semen on objects?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Negligible to no risk, skin wounds should be kept covered in order to allow for healing as superficial infections remain possible.

Hep B&C are contracted from infected bodily fluids and blood. Any contact with open wounds or cuts are positive pathways for contracting the virus. No open wounds or fresh bodily fluids are a negative for contracting the virus. Always be aware.
