Exposure to anti HCV reactive blood

2017-03-08 16:37:06
I am an intern. I was assisting a surgery of an anti HCV reactive patient. Unexpectedly a drop of blood or body fluid (I am not sure about it) hit my eye. I am terribly frightened. What should I do next? Will I get a chronic hepatitis c infection?

Get your HCV antibody test done after a time of 2 weeks , now there is a complete treament available if at all you have any antibodies , ;remember whether the fluid only your eye -lid or it entered your eye;there does seem to be enough inoculum entering your eye to cause any infection CALL 98 11 0 31656
