Q: could hep b or c be contracted if you wiped with toilet paper that had the virus on it while you have fissures or hemorrhoids?

: Highly unlikely transmission in this scenario as long as toilet taper was clean and not stained with fresh blood. Check cdc.gov for reliable information regarding Hep B/C transmission.

Of the two Hep B is more infectious and you should get Hep B vaccination. What you described is unlikely to transmit infection. Get HPV, Flu and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!
