How HCV is NOT Transmitted


The hepatitis C virus is NOT airborne; therefore, it is NOT spread by:

  • sneezing and coughing

  • holding hands

  • kissing (unless there is deep-kissing and open sores present)

  • using the same toilet

  • eating food prepared by someone with HCV

  • holding a child in your arms

  • swimming in the same pool


From HEPATITIS C FAQ, Version 4, dated August 1, 2000.
