Can sharing hair comb/brush spread hepatitis c?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No.: Household precautions to avoid transmission of hep c include avoiding sharing toothbrushes, nail clippers and razors. Sharing a hairbrush or comb is not a risk factor.

No: These personal items should not have small amounts of blood on them. Razors, tooth brushes, and nail clippers could and should not be shared.
