Steff,
A belated thanks for posting his article link. Although I'll never know-for-sure, I've felt that having worked for over a quarter century in jail enviornments(where up to 40% of inmates are infected with Hep C) just "might" have a bearing on my having contracted HCV.

We usually think of Hepatitis C as a virus that is passed from person to person. However, most infections occur via an intermediary, inanimate object. Thus, determining the length of time Hepatitis C can survive outside the body is crucial to prevent transmission of this virus.
