Yes you can get hepatitis from dry blood; it can live for 7 days outside the body. However, it needs to a entry point which is like a cut. It is very unlikely that you had a cut and rubbed the infected blood onto it. Also, you have to understand that there is a lot of contamination around: the cloths may have bleach on it from previously being washed or certain chemicals/dust in the air that may have altered it or even eliminate it. According to OSHA/CDC/WHO HBV can live in dried blood up to 7 days but you have to understand that they did this study in a very clean and sterile environment with no contamination of any kind. Here is a few scenario, Thus, if an infected person (your friend or any body) were to bleed, you have have a higher chance of getting it if you have an open wound and he rubs his immediate blood on your cut thus Blood-to Blood contact- this would increase the chance of getting it much higher. Now lets look at it from a different point of view, if the person dropped blood and it dried up in an area contaminated with dust, spit, old food, bacteria, germs, your dog's saliva, etc etc, its infection rate goes down dramatically even if u come in counter with it. So don't worry about it and go live and ENjoy an awesome life with your family and friends and even if you have friends that have it, as long as you don't have sex with them or exchange blood together directly, then you all good. LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST WITH NO FEARS!
