Please don't think i am joking as i am very scared at present hence need someone/anyone to give me some info/advice. I work alongside class A drug users some of whom are Hep c+. Unfortunately the nature of my work leaves me at risk of making enemies of some of our clients and it is this very risk that has brought me here today! On December 18th i ate some food that had been handled 5 mins previously by a Hep C+ client who had taken a severe disliking to myself (found out he had access to the food at a later date). What are the chances of Hep C being passed on this way if blood had been put into the cold food. I know i had bitten the inside of my mouth that day whilst eating. For the past 2-3 weeks i have been feeling pain below my ribs, have excess gas, sharp pains in my abdomen and slight itching in various places. I am due to go for a test in less than a week, my last one being Dec 8th which was clear. I do suffer from AS hence have various symptoms from that.
