Just_worried posted:
I have HCV and I recently had sex with my girlfriend. I felt some pain and noticed a tiny cut on my penis. I believe a tiny amount of blood may have gotten inside her vagina. She didn't have any type of cut or any pain that would suggest a cut. My question is, would she be at risk of getting infected or would sheneed to be bleeding also?

Also, if there's a chance of infection, how long should she need to wait for testing?

Thank you very much,

Just_worried
