Shake Hand

Good Day

I was in a business meeting with our client. I shake hands with my client and i noticed that theres like red big scratch with his hand but i dont see the blood is running in his wounds. (maybe it is two hours scratch) and i run to go to washroom to check if i have a open wounds in my hand. i double check it with the use of napkin or white paper to see if theres a visible blood.

my question if the guy is hepatitis c positive and i shake hands with him? im in risk of hepatitis c? if the blood goes to my nose or eyes or mouth? theres a possibilities

I think we can use whole body condoms and just say "zup" as we walk by. Sex can only happen separately, I am still working on the details...Mark

  We can do the "hand bump" instead of the hand-shake :)

  Common sense shows us, that if it was as easy to catch, as the common cold, then everybody would have Hep C, as we all shake hands, all the time, capiche?
