Hepatitis C Support Group
Hepatitis C is a blood-borne viral disease which can cause liver inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver cancer. The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is spread by blood-to-blood contact with an infected person's blood. Many people with HCV infection have no symptoms and are unaware of the need to seek treatment. Hepatitis C infects an estimated 150-200 million people worldwide.
Anyone can google this and find out that blood once it leaves the body, lives for 72 hours.
Yes 3 days, after leaving the body.
This is a fact.

All of your answers could be right, I am not about to start a debate on this, but I do know that DNA can be found in dry blood, decades after the blood has turned dry, as for the virus of hep c, I was told many years ago, that the virus itself lived for 3 days, and this was from who I thought was a very reliable sources at the time.
Like I said, this is what I was told by the President of the Support Group for hepatitis C, at the American Liver Foundation.
I would have to contact a friend whom is still a member down there, and get a post regarding this subject.
Like I said you could all be right, I really beleive that after 3 days a person won't go and rub itself on dry blood and catch it, you know, lol.
Anyways, Hope everyone has a great day.

Right now science is testing the limits of viability of the virus under various conditions. The very best we can do is take reasonable precautions.
