A member asked:
In order to get hepatitis g does the infected persons blood have to come in contact with uninfected person blood? is there other ways of transmission?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, unknown: Transfused blood containing hgv has caused some cases of hepatitis. Patients with hemophilia and other bleeding conditions who require large amounts of blood or blood products are at risk of hepatitis g. Hgv has been identified in between 1-2% of blood donors in the United States. At risk are patients with kidney disease who have blood exchange by hemodialysis. Sexual transmission may also occur.
