What can you do to prevent spreading hep c?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Bodily fluids: Hepatitis c is spread through bodily fluids. So avoiding contact with blood and other bodily fluids is the key. Also note that hepatitis C is often treatable and once the blood is cleared of virus through treatment, then transmission is unlikely.
