Can I Get Hepatitis B Or C After Drinking From
Question: Can I get Hepatitis B or C after drinking from the same glass that someone has used without washing it? Thanks.
Brief Answer:
no
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
both hepatitis B and C cannot be transmitted this way. Blood or other infectious material should come into contact with wounded or mucosal surfaces. Sharing glasses should not result in transmission unless the recipient has a cut inside the mouth and there is blood on the glass.
