Contact transmission: Infections that are transmitted by contact, hand to hand, or skin to skin include common cold virus and germs. Hand washing is the remedy. For hepatitis c transmission requires more than contact. Hep c is usually transmitted with body fluids, from needle injections, or more invasive exposures. However, if you are concerned, please get a blood test to determine your virus status.
