Can my family get ill if they are exposed to hep c from a friend?

A friend of ours asked us if we could rent a room to his girlfriend. he lives in a mobile home which is very small. I said ok and she just told us that she has hep c. I am a retired nurse and know all about hep c,and i have all the shots from working in hospital, but is there any thing I need to do to protect my family?

Can my family get ill if they are exposed to hep c from a friend?
Yes - be very careful to not have any blood contact. This means to make sure that you do not use razors, toothbrushes, etc after each other. I highly doubt you would in this situation and you should be fine. Just think ahead about not sharing anything that you wouldn't share with a sick person.
Reply:YES THEY CAN KEEP THAT FRIEND AWAY!
Reply:If you are a nurse, you should know there aren't any shots for Hep C.





There are shots for Hep A and Hep B.
