Kissing=hepatitis?

[anonymous]

Does anyone know if you can catch hepatits from saliva ie kissing? I know it has to be a bodily fluid but would kissing spread it?!

It depends on the type. Hep A is the most easy to transmit, but you can get a vaccination for it. Saliva has very few "pieces" of Hep B and C. They are the more difficult to treat and are uaually spread sexually or through blood.

Apparenty its hep c that I have, but it may be a rogue test..so they're testing again.

hep c is through blood or open body sores. it can NOT be transmitted through kissing unless you both have sores and then there are still treatments. "C" is the only one there is no vaccination for but they are coming up with a cure for certain strains of it. medicine is getting better all the time so that is why i am thankful there may be a cure for cf soon
