Title: Accidental nail scratch on finger
Post by: paolo on July 29, 2014, 11:38:57 am

Hello,

Yesterday an unknown man accidentally scrachted my thumb with his finger nail.

I felt the scratch on my skin, in the right side of my thumb. However, I had no visible scratches nor blood on my finger after looking at it carefully. I have no reason to believe he had blood on his finger nail.

I have been reading in internet and it seems that I had no risk of hepatitis infection even if this man had hepatitis. However, I would appreciate feedback from you as it would definitely relieve me.

Please lets consider that the man has hepatitis. There are a couple of things that could make me think it, but I don't want to extend this post.

Please help me to clarify if I need to test or if I can forget this.

Thank you, I wish you all the best.
