Was I at risk?

Had oralsex with a male. He had bad mouth hygiene in the back of his mouth.

There was blood on me. It was mixed with saliva. The entire ordeal lasted maybe 2 minutes at most.

I had them stop after I seen the blood salva mix. I’m getting tested now. But should I b worried? This was 5 months ago

I assume you are asking if you are at risk of hepatitis c since you asked in the hep c community.

Hep c infected blood must enter your blood stream through an open fresh wound. So if you had no fresh injuries in the area of your body that had contact with blood there is no risk.

Only about 4% of the population has hep c with more being cured every day with the relatively new treatments now available. So the odds are low that this person even has hepatitis C

Best of luck
