can you get hcv thise way
I pincht my finger from sombody elses keys, ther was like pin on keychain and it pickt my finger it was not bleading but when I scquesd my finger it was,I have chronic hbv and I am realy woried.
I cleand with clorax wipe after my self,thise hepend in jim locker keys I wonder if I can get hepatitis c I dont know if sombody else ever prickt his finger on thet and I dont know if there was any blod previesly probibly not but just wondering?
Someone had a pin on their key chain? IF the person who owned the keys had HCV and IF they recently pricked their finger with that pin ....lots of IF'S but if you are in doubt of all that get tested in a couple of weeks.
If you pricket your finger on someone elses keys and there was blood present then I would say yes they could possibly get it only if they pricket there finger or put the keys in there mouth right after that happened. If it has been days later I highly doubt they could contract it. the most common way is blood to blood contact. however i would have them wash there keys right away!!
