How Hepatitis C transmitted in Urdu
How Hepatitis C Is -- and Isn't -- Spread
Hepatitis C is spread only through exposure to an infected person's blood. It cannot be spread through:
- Coughing
- Sneezing
- Hugging
- Kissing
- Breastfeeding (unless nipples are cracked or bleeding)
- Sharing utensils or glasses
- Casual contact
- Sharing food and water
However, hepatitis C can be spread through blood. So follow these common precautions:
- Don't share razors, toothbrushes, nail clippers, or anything else that could have your blood on it. Cover any open wounds or sores with bandages.
- Carefully dispose of tampons, sanitary napkins, tissues, used bandages, and anything else that might have your blood on it.
- If you're using injected street drugs, get into a treatment program. At the very least, don't share needles or equipment with anyone else.
- Don't donate blood, organs, tissue, or semen. webmd.com
