Should hepatitis c clothes be washed with others?

No, hepatitis C clothes should not be washed with others. While the hepatitis C virus (HCV) is not spread through casual contact or by sharing clothes, it can survive on surfaces and objects for several hours. To prevent the spread of HCV, it is important to take precautions when handling clothes that have been worn by someone with hepatitis C.

When washing clothes that have been worn by someone with hepatitis C, it is recommended to:

- Wear gloves and avoid touching your face or eyes.

- Wash the clothes in hot water (at least 160 degrees Fahrenheit) with a detergent that contains bleach or another disinfectant.

-Dry the clothes on the highest heat setting possible.

-Once the clothes are dry, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water.

By following these precautions, you can help prevent the spread of hepatitis C.
