Hi David,

Just passing by and saw your question and didn't see a response.

According to the CDC, recent studies suggest that HCV may survive on environmental surfaces at room temperature for at least 16 hours, but no longer than 4 days.

Hope this helps. To learn more about Hep C please visit my website.
