C

How long can Hepatitis C virus survive outside of the body at freezing temperatures?
For example: How long would or could the Hep. C virus survive outside of the body in dried blood on pavement with overnight temperatures reaching below freezing? All I could find was the length it lives at room temperature, but what about below room temperature or above? Does anyone know of any research on this?
If one would take the example given on FFP (fresh frozen plasma) and apply it here, it’s feasible to assume that hcv is relatively unstable when storing at room temperature or at repeated freezing and thawing.
I would go by the addage that the same 4 day rule applies (give it 5 for safe measure) that after that 4th or 5th day HCV is deactivated and no longer transmitted.
The 4 day rule applies to dried hcv infectious blood under normal warmer temperatures- any of those particles, if they came into contact with your bloodstream- could transmit in up to 4 days.
I’m repeating this info because this is what is definately understood in the medical community or those with HCV who have previously asked their doctor.
