You can get a PCR test after 6 weeks (I think) anti-body is a waste of time ...imho, because if it turns out to be positive you need a PCR anyway.
Good luck,

The last time (first time) I snorted cocaine was several years ago. After that, I didn't do it again, after last night. We were at a club and a friend of mine came up to me and asked if I wanted to do a line. I passed on that occasion. I was happy with the music, company and drinks. So I guess he went with a few others.
The night continued, and we took the after-party back to somebody's place. We were all hanging out when I decided to do a line with the person who asked me earlier this evening. I don't exactly know the background of this person. All I know is he is a frequent user of cocaine and possibly other substances. Maybe even to the extent of intravenous drugs. Who knows!
He rolled up a paper bill and let me hit the first line. That was the only line I did. I don't know if the paper bill was the one used earlier that night, or if it was a new one. As far as I could tell, the paper bill looked 'normal'. No blood stains (so I've read online) or what not...
Was I exposed? To what risk? High / low / other? Should I be concerned? I've read online, it takes up to 6 months until Hep C antibodies start appearing. This means, I would need to wait at least 6 months until I can do a test.
