This is follow up to Dr. Hook - I understand if you don't answer this and just delete it - if so consider this a donation to the work you do.  In question 9072 I asked  about whether tiny cuts from my shaving my private areas the night before would put me at risk for Hep B or Hep C - but I only asked it about unprotected oral - this particular situation was actually during protected vaginal intercourse with a FSW.....I understand that the oral was a no risk encounter but could I have put myself at risk for Hep B or Hep C from having tiny cuts from shaving my privates the night before and possibly coming into contact with vaginal secretions.  I know I asked this question about unprotected oral, so hopefully this will qualify as a new question because this particular incident was actually protected intercourse where vaginal secretions may have gotten into the tiny cuts.  Am I at any risk for Hep C or Hep B – should I get tested for either?  I know I am a huge pain, and I will try never again to ask anything on this forum but if you could just answer this it would really help me.  I won’t have any follow ups or anything….please help if you can.

The answer to your question is emphatically NO!!!

This thread will now be closed and should you return with any questions about hepatitis B or C I will do  my best to see that the question is deleted without a response.  You need to address your OCD.  EWH
