Can hepatitis a be trasmitted through saliva (like kissing or sharing food/water)?

Yes: Any contact with body fluids can transmit hepatitis a from one who carries the virus to another that does not have the virus.

Not the case: There is no evidence that HAV is transmitted by saliva at all. It is transmitted fecal-orally.
