How is hepatitis c transmitted

How is hepatitis c transmitted? I've been told that is transmitted by saliva (kissing) but all the articles I have seen say blood to blood

  1. Hi . Hepatisis C is a blood-borne virus, which means it can only be transmitted when someone's infected blood comes into contact with the blood of someone who is not infected. Here is an article that explains it better than I can: https://hepatitisc.net/what-is/transmission. I hope this helps. Best wishes. - Lori (Team Member)
