| Response from Dr. Fried
 The splash would have to contain HCV-infected blood in order to transmit HCV. Splash exposures have been reported very rarely and is not a common way to get HCV. If you have potentially been exposed, follow-up with your occupational health service for appropriate testing and counseling. | ||||||||
