How Is Hepatitis C Transmitted?
I am in remission of colon & liver cancer since May 2017. My sister just learned that she has Hep C (1). She s afraid to come around me. What are the chances I could contract Hep C? I have had 3 liver surgeries. PLEASE DO NOT SHARE MY E-MAIL ADDRESS

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Hepatitis C is spread by direct contact of blood of infected person ... like sharing needles / receiving blood transfusion.So there is no chance of contacting Hepatitis C till you don't have blood contact with her blood / do nor touch an open wound to her skin.
you should try to protect yourself from all pathologies.
thanks
