What Could Be The Chances Of Contracting Hepatitis While Sharing One Hit From A Meth Pipe?
Hi,
What is the risk factor of taking one hit from a meth pipe I shared with a guy I occasionally hook up with as per contracting Hepatitis? Luckily I can say I throughly checked my mouth for any cuts or sores beforehand and there were absolutely none I could spot.
I really only took one hit from it (I stupidly thought it was pot and then stopped once I registered what it actually was) and it didn't cause any burn on my lip.

Hi,
As you have given histroy regarding sharing of meth pipe and chance of getting hepatitis.
Hepatitis B is transmitted by parentral route and through the blood tranfusion from a infected individual. By sharing the meth pipe chance of getting Hepatitis B will be less. But sharing these pipes are not good practice. I sugest you not to share and maintain goog hygiene.
Thank you
