Is hepatitis C contagious?

Yes, hepatitis C can be spread through infected blood or needles and other sharp objects. Other instances of hepatitis C infection may include transmission from a mother to a newborn, shared household objects like toothbrushes or razors that may be contaminated with blood, and sexual contact. An infection via sexual contact usually occurs with individuals who have multiple sex partners or a sexually transmitted disease history. However, long-time sexual partners who do not have sexual contact with others are a low risk for this method of infection. Condoms are recommended for sexual contact in any case, because this mode of transmission is rare but possible.
