Shared toothbrush hep c

2017-09-24 20:07:32
My room mate has hepatitis c. He left the house for several days when I accidentally took his toothbrush and used it. The brush hadn't been used for about 2 or 3 before I used it. My gums didn't bleed and he says his never bleed. He also says that he is in remission. Am I at risk of contracting hepatitis c?
