Can Hepatitis-C Infection Be Transmitted Through Skin Contact?
Hi welcome to the health care magic Hepatitis c spread by secretions of body... Hence Avoid sharing of objects with your friend especially razor, toothbrush etc.... If he has not come into contact with your secretion than chances of infection less likely... Your pan in which you have eaten food should be washed well esp with diluted bleach solution... Hope your concern solved No vaccine available for preventing HCV infection.... Take care
