risk hcv

Hi ryan,

Thanks for your questions! I think we're having a little difficulty understanding the translation of your post. However, to address the question of HCV transmission and risk, there isn't a clear answer. Without knowing the history of the syringe and those who could have previously been stuck by it, it's hard to determine what your risk of developing HCV is. It is probably not a bad idea to play it safe and get tested for HCV just in case. You can visit your local doctor's office or hospital and tell them what happened to get their opinion, or let them know you want to get tested. Doing this sooner rather than later may help detect any potential virus earlier on.

I hope this helped! Best, Casey (HepatitisC.net Team)

Thank you answering my question. sorry for my bad english. let me make you understand what i mean."yesterday i dont realize i stab my finger with needle of syringe (for medical use )until i feel pain after that realize i already stab with needle of syringe then my finger bleeding. i use that syringe for insert ink into my printer. i wash that syringe & the needle 3 times with dish soap(a soap that use for clean spoon,fork,plate). when i wash the third time i dont realize stab my finger with needle syringe until i feel pain after that realize already stab with syringe needle. the syringe already use for printer before, after that not used for 1 year, but i do not know if the syringe is new or used

in the past cause when i buy that ink the computer/pc shop.they give me medical syringe that already open/the packaging from the company who made syringe is already open. I also do not know are the syringe already ever stab into the hands of the employee of the shop until bleeding without realize or never.cause it already open like i said.if the syringe already stab the hand of the employee of the shop until bleeding ,I also do not know the employee of the shop have hiv, hbv, hcv or not cause i only meet them one time and i forget their face now,i dont know is there blood stain in the syringe or not before i use for my printer

cause the syringe for medical use (which the needle sharp)and use for printer ink,not specialized syringe for printer ink(which the needle not sharp)

my question

1) am I at risk of contracting the hcv?
2) if yes and how many days/month after i stab syringe into my finger i can test lab?

I hope you understand now.thank you
