A member asked:
Hepatitis b and c cant be spread through sharing a cup....what if someone has a cut inside their mouth? every website is adamant you cant get it from sharing drinks or utensils...?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Both of these infections are transmitted through blood. What you described will not cause transmission, unless the previous user of the cup had Hep B and/or Hep C and left blood on the cup. Get Hep B vaccine.
