Hep C.: Hep c is not generally a contraindication to massage. Hep c virus may be spread by direct blood contact and less likely from sexual contact and not at all likely by casual contact. However about 40% of people who develop hep c are unable to identify any risk factor for contracting the disease.

No: There is no danger to the person doing the massage in this instance. The refusal made no sense.
