if there is blood to blood contact from open wounds ,your blood and someone else's blood than you can get HEP C and other diseases. HPV,HIV AND STD'S. IF THE OTHER PERSON IS NEGATIVE FOR ALL OR ANY THAN NO PROBLEM, BUT HOW DO YOU KNOW? BEST HAVE OTHER PERSON TESTED FOR ANY DISEASES. YOU CAN GET HEP C FROM ANY CUTS ON A DIRTY OR UNSTERIALIZED INSTRUMENT. .
