Can Hepatitis C Spread Through Non-sexual Means?
My lab results say either I have been exposed to hepatitis c. Or I had it and developed antibodies . I have never taken drugs or had a blood transfusion. I do not know how I could have gotten it. Is there other ways or exposure so I can further avoid it in the future. Also both my husband and I have never had intercourse with anyone else. Please answer me.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Hepatitis C antibody testing by ELISA testing can be done to check hepatitis C present or not. Hepatitis C can be spread by secretions from the infected person and it can spread by blood as well. So to prevent hepatitis C spread, try to avoid contact of secretion of infected person.
