Can you get hepatitis C or any hepatitis...

[kooks1110]

...through saliva?

yes! you can get hepatitis C from kissing or sexual contact. But there is a vaccine for Hepatitis A and B so you can be immune to it.

Charlyse is sooo wrong! Hepatitis C is a blood borne pathogen; it is transmitted blood to blood only. Not through saliva, kissing, drinking out of someone elses cup, etc. Transmission risk factors are : blood transfusions in the US before 1992, accidental needlesticks (medical workers, EMT's, paramedics, etc.), IV drug use even if only one time, tattoos, piercings, sharing toothbrushes or razors (hep c virus can live on these things for up to 7 days), snorting drugs, and sex when blood has been exchanged (rough sex, anal sex, etc). Hope this helps you. If you're not sure you've been exposed, get tested. Many people have this and don't know it because it takes decades for symptoms to become noticeable. Best wishes.

hepatitis B can be spread through a bite but you have to break the skin and get blood contact. Hepatitia a is not spread through saliva. Just saliva will not spread hepatitis. Has to be blood contact. it is a bloodborne disease. B and C i mean.
