Salem

YES!!! it is a blood borned pathogen. This is a Liver attacking disease that has no known cure.

Yes but usually if you do not DRINK alcohol at all, you will be OK. There are many different strains and they are transmitted via BLOOD so sex is not usually a problem unless it gets rough. A certain GENO TYPE can be treated successfully so that it will not longer be detectable.

yes requires blood contact. Shared needles, sex, other blood exchange.



Lake Minchumina

if you come in contact with infected blood yes but other than that no but can rarely be spread through intercourse but not kissing

It is very infectious and can be deadly if not treated. Do not go around someone with this. If you believe you have been exposed, be tested.
