A member asked:
Can hep c be transmitted through inhaling an infected person's sneeze?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Hep c is not very virulent, which means it's hard to transmit. Blood transfusion, unprotected sex with an infected person, IV drug use, dialysis, and mother-to-fetus are the only known ways to get it. You can kiss an infected person with no risk whatsoever.
