A lot of individual thinks that this virus transmitted through direct contact and always ask that Is hepatitis C contagious? but no this virus spread exactly like <a href=\"https:\/\/healthycyte.com\/what-is-hepatitis-b\/\">hepatitis B<\/a> and this is why both of these viruses are dangerous for health. HCV Spread through contaminated syringes, blades, and scissors. <\/p>\n<p>When a healthy person injects the same syringe that has already been used can cause Hepatitis with 90% efficiency. HCV is also transmitted through serum, saliva, and other body fluids but most important through blood-to-blood contact. Hepatitis C virus also spreads through sexual contact but now protection makes it easier and that is why this type of spread is less common.<\/p>\n<p>Since 2006 the cases of hepatitis C have increased in people aged less than 30 due to the use of drugs that have to be injected into the body via the use of needles.
