Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Hepatitis / August 2006a "tough" question to answer
I found out I might've been exposed to hepatitis c, though i certainly hope not. I was at my buddies last week and we went in the jacuzzi, little did I know that earlier in the day he and his girlfriend had been in there and she gave him a bl.wj.b in the tub (didn't swallow (gross now that it's in the tub)) and my buddy may or may not have hep c. He had it at one time becase he told me once he has antibodies but his viral count indetectible and he's had it since the 80's (also has no liver damage or symptoms - which is great, he's such a good friend I'm glad it hasn't been a problem for him). Anyway I've done some research on it and I know that the sexual transmission rate is extremely low estimated at .03% in some studies to 2.5% in others, but it's basically impossible to spread sexually almost, unless you try to. Anyway, I spent about an hour soaking in their tub before anyone knew i was there and told me to get out. I submersed a couple times and had some scratches that were scabbed over but i'd had them for a week or so prior to getting in the tub so they were heavily scabbed. I'm a bit concerned I may have contracted it, anybody got any idea what the risk is here? Sure would appreciate some info on this.

Sure would appreciate some info on this. I was wondering if this post is a wind-up. Just in case it isn't I would rate the chance of you being infected are somewhere between zero and nothing. Wish my girlfriend would do that :-) >I found out I might've been exposed to hepatitis c, though i certainly > hope not.

If the guy bleed directly on you (like on an open sore or something), you might have something to worry about, but even if he bled in the hot tub earlier in the day I doubt you'd have anything to worry about considering the chemicals in the hot tub, time in between, etc. Not tough to answer at all - go get tested.

Sure would appreciate some info on this. how soon should I get test, or rather, how soon can I get tested and have any definitive results? Also as my understanding of these thigns go, if there's no antibodies then I'm in the clear, right? At this point just make an appt. with your regular doc - state your concerns and take it from there. Be sure to follow up with that doctor though until you understand what's up with your health - you can never be too involved.

I'd be more concerned about catching 'syph eye' than I would hepc tho. :-) elmo http://community.webtv.net/elmoemerson/DocElmosHepFile http://community.webtv.net/elmoemerson/TheFamilyAlbum You might want to wipe the 'flotsam' out of the corner of your eye. ahahahahahahahahaha elmo http://community.webtv.net/elmoemerson/DocElmosHepFile http://community.webtv.net/elmoemerson/TheFamilyAlbum > I found out I might've been exposed to hepatitis c, though i certainly > hope not.
