How long may hepatitis C last?
– The hepatitis C virus may survive outside of the human body for an extended period of time. If the virus-containing blood lands on a surface, it can remain alive for up to three weeks. During an accident, blood spills or splatters are more likely to cause this contamination.
- If you have hepatitis C and have just cut yourself, or if you live with someone who has the infection, it is essential that you clean up after yourself.
- Infrequently is hepatitis C transmitted through casual touch with a contaminated surface, although the following measures are helpful: Always use thick rubber gloves.
Consider wearing an additional pair of gloves if you have an open cut on your hand. Mix together 1 part bleach and 10 parts water. Use a disposable cloth or paper towel to wipe the area with the bleach solution many times.
