I have a new client - she didn't tell me she has Hep C until I was half-way done.

What are your ideas, feeling, protocols on working on Hep C clients?

Unless you have contact with blood or bodily fluids why should it make a difference? I used to work on a liver transplant unit as a pharmacist and we saw many many patients with hepatitis of all forms A B and C. The consultant hepatologist was not immunised against Hep B because with the work he did ....that did not involve anything more than examinations....he was at no risk of infection.
