I am not laughing, I am grinning.. anyway I have had my innoculations for Hepititis.. it is soo widespread here in China, I could also be at risk eating from a shared plate with chopsticks.. not just the other things you have mentioned.

REDFEATHERS said:

perhaps for Heb B, there are NO innoculations for Hep C so just be careful

product derived from human blood, including but not limited to blood plasma, platelets, red or white blood corpuscles, and other derived licensed products, such as interferon, etc.

But that should come under "occupational blood exposure"

Steadwood said:

that refers to the possibility of acquiring infection from a patient, not blood products
